lol, why so dramatic? We have no official confirmation that the Z series is being replaced by the X series. It's been long rumored that Sony was going to break away from the 6 month release cycle of the Z series, and it looks like that's happened.
Not being dramatic in the slightest, perhaps you should of read my link?
Here is an extract which to me certainly reads as they have dropped the Z series for the X series:
UPDATE: 15:33 PM, February 22
A Sony spokeswoman contacted AndroidPIT this afternoon to retract the original statement. The spokeswoman said the country manager who told AndroidPIT Italy that Xperia's Z line would be dropped had "mistakenly" revealed product roadmap details. The spokeswoman also said Sony would not publicly discuss the roadmap at this stage.
Also in this video from Mobilegeeks.de who were at MWC they seem pretty confident the X is replacing the Z:

If Sony indeed have ditched the Z line, hopefully in the future they will make the name shorter. Sony Xperia X Performance sounds too long and tacky to me.

It's just a name, who cares. Samsung, Apple etc use 'plus'. It's no different really.
Anyway, this thread is going off track again. Too much talk about the new 'X' series (it's now announced, keep it in the threads please) and Sony strategy.

she doesn't even know what she's talking about, don't even know the name of the phone she's handling...x pro/professional whatever
She said that there no finger print scanner....Sony says otherwise
xperia-x specs and
xperia-x-performance specs...the xa indeed doesn't....
Don't believe anything that those so-called reviewers say...just my 2 cents

It seems that both X & XP will have 32GB internal for single SIM variant and 64GB for dual SIM variant...
Too bad as Sony them selfs prioritise the Single SIM variant in their Software Update Schedule not to mention the developers support is much better for the single SIM...
Wonder how the real flagship will do for a change in this internal memory thing.. maybe same, both variants 64GB, or 64GB for single SIM and 128GB for dual SIM.. if Sony in 2016 is the same Sony in 2015.. then nothing will change.. ie 32GB for Single & 64GB for Dual...
I just hope they unify the firmware for both

did no one see the article stating they have ditched the Z line up and replaced it with the X line then?
It's a good thing that that's not happening.

Two different ranges. Sony decided that the X Performance (which was going to be the Z6) was not as big of a step up from the Z5 as they had wanted, but didn't want to waste all their R&D, so they created the 'X' range, specifically the X Performance (my guess is that they then made the X and XA in order to make it a new range). At least if the Z6 is better than the X Performance, we know that it will be a great step up from the Z5 (I'm still on the original Z, so going for a Z6 next will be absolutely amazing for me!)

That was the writers opinion, not fact.
From the article:
"Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the Xperia Z6 was well into its production life before it had its early 2016 launch date pulled in favor of a more significant Z series upgrade one full year after the Xperia Z5. If I was Sony, I wouldn’t want to waste all that R&D so I would probably do the same thing: slap another brand name on it and hope no one noticed the similarities."
It's up in the air at the moment, nothing OFFICIAL has been said. Time will tell if the Z still exists.

Spotted my mate asking this. +1 and Re-tweeted it. Hopefully Sony will answer

What nightwing wrote!
What if its a new strategy from Sony. Using the X-line as a pre Z-line? The X phones will work as a gap between the current Z5 and the next Z6. Instead of releasing a new Z every six months with smaller updates they can test new things in the X and then go all in on the Z? And they will have two diffrent, but similar, models on offer and create an illusion that each of them gets an annual update when in reality its the same old two "flags" a year were used to from Sony.
But announcment an release must med closer together. A month ideally.
But I am sooooo disapointed that there where no new tablet. Was kind of counting on it this time.
