Have recently been given an xbox, I've noticed how difficult it is to buy new xbox games now. The original xbox and all games have been replaced in large retailers like HMV and Virgin Megastores by Xbox 360 hardware and titles, while searching online retailers inevitably mainly throws up results for the 360. Sony did the exact opposite when the PS2 came out, re-releasing the PlayStation as the cheaper PSone thus saving all sorts of naming confusion.

Mainly I want to get hold of an xbox composite video cable, but such a thing is out of stock wherever I look. Have manufacturers stopped bothering with the ugly dinosaur console? Or do Microsoft operate some noxious scheme to incite third party accessories manufacturers to move away from the less profitable older platform with expiring licensing agreements or some such?

Update!
