Xbox.com is:

$ host www.xbox.com
www.xbox.com is an alias for www.gtm.xbox.com.
www.gtm.xbox.com is an alias for msxbwsd.vo.llnwd.net.
msxbwsd.vo.llnwd.net has address 87.248.223.190
msxbwsd.vo.llnwd.net has address 87.248.223.183
msxbwsd.vo.llnwd.net has IPv6 address 2a02:3d0:630:12:225:90ff:fe05:a46
msxbwsd.vo.llnwd.net has IPv6 address 2a02:3d0:630:12:225:90ff:fe04:3d1e

and that for more than a year already... likely depends on the product
group to make that decision and ask yourself, is there any revenue
advantage in doing so today, nope still not yet...

Greets,
