Is the Xbox gaming console phasing out?

Basically my friend was using Spencer's words about gaming consoles like him saying "this may very well be the last Xbox console". He used those words to draw up a conclusion that Spencer will be phasing out the gaming consoles due to us having access to play our games on PC

My question to you is, are the Xbox One and the Xbox One series X different consoles but are both under the the family tree "Xbox"? I think he is confused with the terminology because he thinks even the new console falls under that statement you replied with. I simply told him Xbox gaming consoles will not be phased out and he said 85 million articles says Xbox is being phased out

HI,

They've just released a new generation, why would they phase it out?

Microsoft have ended production of Xbox One S, One S digital and One X. These machines have been phased out. Pointless to keep making them as the new machines play all Xbox One games.

The pandemic along with a global chip shortage is why purchasing one is difficult at the moment.

My question to you is, are the Xbox One and the Xbox One series X different consoles but are both under the the family tree "Xbox"?

HI.

They are in the same family because Series X and S can also play Xbox One games with backwards compatability.

It cost millions to develop the Series X, it's only been out for about four months and Microsoft sells the hardware at loss. It was built for a ten + year life cycle. It's not going away anytime soon.

Both the consoles don't seem to be going away anytime soon. As long as Microsoft/Xbox doesn't continue to have some very stupid controversy every console generation (Xbox Live Gold price hike for example), they'll do fine.
