Good luck finding an Xbox Series X within the next few months

[Jacob Siegal]

• Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S demand will be "constrained by supply" in the coming weeks as Microsoft attempts to keep its new game consoles in stock.
• In an earnings call, Microsoft made it clear that the supply problems will not be resolved soon.
• Despite supply issues, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says the Xbox Series X and Series S launch was "the most successful in our history with the most devices ever sold in a launch month."

Finding a new console has been all but impossible since they launched last fall. High demand, complications arising from the pandemic, and a robust scalper operation made a mess of the market, and now countless gamers who just want a PS5, Xbox Series X, or Xbox Series S are staking out retailer websites in hopes that they'll add to cart at the exact right nanosecond to secure a console. The situation is unlikely to improve any time soon, either.

In a quarterly earnings call this week, Microsoft chief financial officer Amy Hood said that demand for game consoles "has significantly exceeded supply following the Xbox Series X and S launches." The Series X and Series S launched on November 10th, and nearly three months later, both consoles are rarely in stock anywhere.
