If you have been a long-time Xbox fan, then you probably already know about the one Xbox console that didn’t do as well as the others. The console in question is the Xbox One.

Twitter reacts to Xbox and Sony taking polar opposite decisions

Usually, competitors study one another and make decisions that can generate more revenue. Xbox’s decision to discontinue the previous generation of consoles will serve a greater purpose.

Console makers usually don’t make a profit in the initial days of releasing consoles. The devices become profitable in the longer run, as more titles and much-needed exclusives are rolled out. And Xbox didn’t do a great job when it comes to sales.

Xbox’s community is happy to see the older generation consoles take a backseat, as the hype is currently around Series X/S consoles.

Meanwhile, some people seem to think Sony doubling down on the production of PS4 is a mistake. This will not push the next-gen of gaming forward and it will certainly not help PS5 acquire a special place in the market.

The ongoing issue with the world has definitely impacted the production in every industry. This fan backed Sony’s decision to produce more PS4 consoles, as the shortage of raw material is impacting PS5’s production as well.
