White Xbox One could hit retail 'in the future'

4.6
Microsoft's Larry Hryb has said that it is possible that the firm will sell white Xbox One units to the general public, but that it won't be for some time yet.

It emerged Monday that the platform holder has produced a limited number of white Xbox One consoles to be given exclusively to Xbox One employees.

The consoles, free to Xbox One employees working at the firm at the time of launch, will come with all the launch-day first-party games, a special achievement and will have the words 'I made this' etched next to the disc slot. The machines also come with a white controller and a year's subscription to Xbox Live Gold.

The Xbox One has only officially be shown in a black trim, which will be the sole colour available at launch.

Although details such as the 'I Made This' insignia and the special achievement will remain unique to the staff-only machines, Hryb told reddit readers that a white version of the console could go on sale "maybe waaaay in the future", as spotted by Polygon.

The platform holder has released a list of games that are targeted to be available for Xbox One on launch day, including Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse: Son of Rome and Killer Instinct.

Microsoft expects to release its new console in November, though its initial target of 21 launch countries was recently narrowed to 13.

Destroyed I bet they would sell a lot more if they released the white version on launch day.


i don't think so i mean no one is dumb enough to buy 2 xbox just because the other one is white.


Well, your dumb enough to think he meant people would buy to...


"Well, You're dumb enough to think he meant people would buy two."

Your grammar is terrible.


Why do you feel the need to correct peoples grammar? Its the internet not a spelling competition..

-InsanelyAwesome- I am not a massive fan of the design of the Xbox One, but a white one just looks horrible in my opinion. Guess its down to personal preference when it comes to colors, I would prefer it if consoles came with the option of choosing the color(s)you want.


I think white really compliments the design of the console, white seems like it was made for it.
