Microsoft Xbox team members are set to receive an exclusive white Xbox One console later this year, and many consumers took to the internet to express their interest in a white console. Major Nelson responded to a fan on Reddit who asked whether Microsoft intended on releasing a white Xbox One to the public – Major Nelson responded: “maybe waaaay in the future.” Let’s not forget the Xbox 360 initially released in white in 2005 before converting to black during the launch of the Xbox 360 Slim – the console has remained black ever since.

The reason they made them black in the first place was due to the people demanding a black 360, and they figured we would want the XONE in black as well. In my opinion if the offered it in different colors I would get a white one. I agree it looks way sexy! But could you imagine the shipping problems with all the pre orders if they offered the white or black, man the back log would be crazy!
