‘2TB Xbox One S’ Units Almost Sold Out, No Plans To Make More

After announcing the planned release of the “Xbox One S,” many speculated that Microsoft was making a huge mistake and that the weaker console, when compared to the “Scorpio” would not catch on to buyers. The naysayers were proven wrong almost immediately after the White 2TB variant of the “Xbox One S” became available as demand was so high, the units are all but sold out. Once they are gone, no 2TB units will be produced.

Right now, only the “White 2TB Xbox One S” is available in stores, and they are flying off the shelves. As GameSpot reports, Microsoft confirmed that these units are limited in stock.

"The 2 TB Xbox One S was released as a special launch edition in limited quantities only,” Microsoft told GameSpot. “We're thrilled at the amount of interest we've received and we are always looking for opportunities to offer choice and fantastic value to our fans. Please check with your local retailer to determine whether the 2 TB Xbox One S is still available in your market."

For players who simply must have the White variant with 2TB of storage, the time to act is now. However, for those who aren’t too concerned with the amount of storage that they get, particularly because of how easy it is to swap hard drives with the “Xbox One S,” Microsoft will be releasing 1TB and 500GB units down the road.

More than that, TechnoBuffalo notes the impending release of the “Gears of War” themed “Xbox One S” unit that will also feature 2TB of space as another option for players. This edition will sport a rusty red color as is typical with the gritty FPS game, and it will also be more expensive at $449, compared to the $399 of the currently available White model.
