Never seen a company kill support for a system not even 3 years old before unless it was a massive failure.
I'm not just talking about games but platform as well.Microsoft: We don't want to force users into buying next-gen platforms.
Also Microsoft: Abruptly stops producing 2 out of 3 current-gen platforms.
The current platforms certainly have not been killed in terms of support. In fact, all first-party games launched on the Series X will be playable on Xbox One platforms for at least another 2 years which is far better current-gen support than what Sony is offering.

The ps2 was supported till 2013
The ps3 till 2018
The ps1 was supported till 2006
And i'm sure the ps4 will continue to be support for at least a few more years.
Consoles manufactured yesterday are stock for November/December. In principle you'll still be able to find new ones right up until the XSX launches - and then people will be looking at a new $400 "old" console vs a new $500 (or so; no prices announced yet, but that's the magic figure nobody wants to break) "new" console and rationalising themselves into the new one.But guess i wont now even if i find a new one what's the point since its been discontinue?

They didn't. Microsoft was so desperate to get out of their contract with nVidia that they ended production of the original Xbox well before the 360 came out.Wow I never knew MS continued making the Original Xbox until 2009 in NA, the latest dated model I've ever seen is 2005, (in the UK), did anybody here buy one of these later units ? If so were they cheap ?

They did.However, what I don't understand is the need to also get rid of the disc-based One S.
They should have gotten rid of the digital One S as the disc-based gives you both.
