PS5 is nowhere to be found and is stealing the show just because it is difficult to find but, as confirmed by Microsoft, the situation is not too much better for Xbox Series X .
The Redmond console is sold out pretty much everywhere, with slightly better availability for the S model, and it will take a while for production to fully answer the question.
“I think we will continue to see supply shortages as we enter the post-holiday quarter, so Microsoft’s Q3, the calendar’s Q1,” explained Xbox CFO Tim Stuart.
«We will have supplies starting up in the next 4, 5, 6 months. And that’s when I really expect to see the demand profile starting to be satisfied , which is going to be really, really great…
I think we will see some significant increases in speed, which I am excited to see. “
This means that, predictably, Microsoft expects not to 100% answer the demand for Xbox Series X coming from the market.
A window that, net of the difficulties due to COVID-19, seems quite reasonable in relation to previous generational launches.
While it is not clear what the situation is at PlayStation, Microsoft is satisfied but not too surprised by the sold-out, since even in the absence of great launch exclusives, the American manufacturer is expected major sales.
If you want to take Xbox Series X home, keep an eye on the console page on Amazon.
