After the surprise announcement of the 3 new models of the Xbox Series out of production.
Given the enormous number of consoles on the market, the suspicion that there could be replacements was more than legitimate, which is why the editorial team of Eurogamer.net had asked for clarification and received reassurances on the matter.
However, Xbox too points out that the Microsoft spokesperson’s statements lacked mention of a particular console: the black Xbox Series Sannounced just a year ago during the previous Xbox Games Showcase and with memory expanded to 1TB.
A console that became de facto a “double” of the new white Series S: investigating more deeply, the official announcement on Xbox Wire has actually confirmed that the black variant has now gone out of production, with a small note hidden in the text and gone unnoticed until the last few hours.
«Fans can still purchase the Series S Carbon Black 1TB while stocks last».
In short, as long as they remain available in stores (you can also find it on Amazon) the black Xbox Series S can obviously still be purchased, but once they run out Microsoft will officially stop producing them.
In fact for users little or nothing changes, except the color: the new white Series S will have the exact same features as the Carbon Black model.
We don’t know for sure why the Redmond house decided to make only one color available, but our hypothesis is that he chose to make it more obvious which console to buy based on the actual color.
In other words, the new white consoles should be exclusively digital, while the new black consoles will have the optical drive available.
This would also explain the announcement of a new totally digital white Xbox Series
But if you care little or nothing about these commercial differences and would simply prefer to have a Carbon Black digital console, obviously we can only invite you to hurry up and buy one as soon as possible.
