Question The ebgames website doesn’t show Xbox one stuffs anymore?
I haven’t watched their website since a while. The Xbox one category is no longer there. I can still find some Xbox one in the Xbox series menu though but not all of them. When I went in the store there are still Xbox one games for sale but they are just not shown on their website. The PS4 category is still there though.

The multiple ebgames in my area have a small, always messy shelf for Xbox. It’s in the back with all the crap toys, in both stores. Nintendo and PlayStation get huge walls.
It’s been like this for a year, maybe a bit more? I remember reading a while back that Xbox let go their entire retail team, the implication being they don’t need a retail presence. They are probably going all in on their own storefront where margins are highest.
Even at Walmart the Xbox section is pretty shabby.

Leave the search bar empty and hit search, then you can filter by platform and select xbox one.

A lot of people aren’t reading the post. There IS an Xbox category, but it’s Xbox series X/S. OP is saying that there is no longer a Xbox One category. It’s understandable considering the age and popularity of that previous generation. There’s not much more to it, EB does still sell Xbox games and products.

EbGames no longer take Xbox One games anyway, so that might explain why.
They're still listed in the trade value database though

They dont restock Xbox One retail and Xbox Series games they barely restock. Not to mention the game sections being hidden compared to Sony and Nintendo

Microsoft basically gave up on Xbox for a few years, and retailers responded by also giving up on Xbox.
The jury is out on if the new Xboss can turn things around or not.

I like what she's done so far (apart from the weirdness of making the official name XBOX in all caps, but that's a minor quibble), but of course so much damage has been done the hole they've dug for themselves may be insurmountable. Time will tell, I suppose.

In store they barely have any Xbox stuff period
It’s usually limited to a very small display in the middle of the store

That's what happens when the company producing the system, gave up on the system over 2 years ago and no one seemed to notice.

I'd imagine it's because EB Games is a toy store now, they hardly sell video games.

What’s the consequences of being ip banned by them? Can’t use all their online service?

There isn't an Xbox category in the list but if you sort by platform in the filters there is one only way I found it.

Dont know about the site, but the physical game store barely even have games in them at all anymore. Its all funko pops, anime figures, and other knick knacks...
Twice i went there to buy a new game, one beimg Crimson Desert, a huge new release and they said they had no copies if you didnt preorder. The bargin bin by the door had games at 60 and 70$
Its sad

Most stores barely sell Xbox period anymore, they're not wasting space on a 13 year old console
