Microsoft halts production Xbox One X and Xbox One S
Microsoft has officially discontinued production of the Xbox One X and Xbox One S. The company is doing that in preparation for the arrival of the new game console, the Xbox Series X.
Microsoft calls it a sensible step "in the run-up to the Xbox Series X", which should be released late this year. The Xbox One S will still be sold for the time being.It is not known how many stock of the Xbox One X and Xbox One S All Digital Edition are still in circulation. The available devices are still being sold.
The Xbox One X was released in November 2017 and was a more powerful console than the 2013 Xbox One. Among other things, the game console could handle a higher 4K resolution for sharper images on 4K TVs. The Xbox One S All Digital Edition was released last April and was an Xbox One S without a disc tray. That made the device a cheaper alternative for people who only download games and do not buy them physically.

At this point the xbox one X is not more a cost, production costs is well below selling cost. Stopping the production is not a way to save money but to use the resources to produce the other, that you won't sell yet for 3-4 months.
This is necessary to have a bunch if availability a launch and i think it will cost a couple of notes more than the ps5
Why have two console models (it's not like the Xbox 1 series was loved by the majority) if you are trying to cut cost so you can sell the next-gen at a more competitive crushing price for Sony to match?

No problem at all. They'll keep something in storage. And in worst case, people get their money back.

No money, they simply will get an Xbox Series X/S depending if they have an X/S Xbox one.

I thought they were going to continue it and maintain some backward (forward?) compatibility.
New consoles can play games from old ones. That's all backward compatibility you need.
Make sense, though.

All this proves is that the rumors that MS will be charging around $299-$399 are true.
Maybe for the low end version. If they sold big one for that price, even I would got it. Though, I would prefer to wait for version with 20GB of RAM.
