Microsoft and Sony are struggling to keep up with demand for the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. While Sony plans to keep manufacturing the PlayStation 4 for the time being to make up for its shortfall of current-gen consoles, the Xbox One is no more. We learned in July 2020 that Microsoft had discontinued the Xbox One X and Xbox One S Digital Edition by that point. Now, it has emerged the company quietly stopped making the Xbox One S by the end of that year too. “To focus on production of Xbox Series X/S, we stopped production for all Xbox One consoles by the end of 2020,” Xbox’s senior director of console product marketing Cindy Walker told The Verge. It seems the strategy has paid off. Xbox head Phil Spencer told The New York Times this week that Microsoft has sold more of the Series X and Series S at this point in their lifecycle than it has with any previous Xbox generation, though he didn’t reveal actual sales figures. Analyst Daniel Ahmad of Niko Partners said that would put shipments of Series X/S at more than 12 million units.

Not now Turned on Turn on While the more powerful Series X typically sells out minutes after every stock drop (it doesn’t help that scalpers are using bots to snap them up), the Series S isn’t hard to come by at this point. It’s available to buy at the time of writing in the US, UK and Canada at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop and Walmart. Given that the Series S can handle pretty much everything the Xbox One can — except for playing discs — it doesn’t make a ton of sense for Microsoft to keep making that console. It’s a slightly different story for Sony. Save for the disc drive, there’s no difference between the two PS5 models. Given the high demand (Sony had sold 13.4 million units by October 2021) and the ongoing supply chain crisis, it’s harder for most people to score one of those consoles than a Series S right now. As such, Sony told Bloomberg on Wednesday it will keep making the PS4 (which uses less advanced components than the PS5) in 2022, despite reportedly planning to discontinue the console last year. The company's said to be making around a million PS4 units in this year. Sony previously suggested it would support PS4 through 2024. Several of its first-party exclusives are coming to both the current- and previous-gen consoles this year, including Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7 and God of War Ragnarök.

Is Game Boy making a comeback?

Don't freak out but the original Game Boy is making a comeback

Yaaas.

What did you buy with your communion money?

If it wasn't a Game Boy then you clearly weren't with it. Or eight years old in 2008 when the popularity of the Game Boy was at its highest... whichever. It's impossible to count how many hours we spent (wasted) blowing air into cartridges, swapping games, and charging up that little lad who actually had a surprisingly long battery life considering. A long time has passed since the iconic Game Boy has been in our lives, and now, it looks like it's about to make a comeback. Gizmodo reports that Hyperkin is creating a version of the original Game Boy that will cater to all of your early-2000s kid needs. It's still in the development stages, and isn't an official Nintendo Game Boy, but it's modelled off the classic Game Boy, is handheld, and uses all your old game cartridges. To be honest, it's as close to the original thing as we're probably ever going to get.

And it looks pretty legit.

A post shared by GIZMODO (@gizmodo) on Jan 9, 2018 at 2:06pm PST The 'Ultra Game Boy' (yes, that is what it's called) will be made of aluminium instead of plastic giving it the ability to last longer. The company is hoping to have the product on sale by this summer so we won't even have to wait all that long to dust off all those Pokemon cartridges we have obviously been saving for all of these years.

Apparently, the Ultra Game Boy will retail for less than $100 too.

Not bad for the ultimate orginal handheld experience.
