It’s easier to get your hands on an Xbox Series X lately, but the supply chain is still strained.
Although this week we have had some ease in stores to get hold of an Xbox Series X, the truth is that stock problems in Microsoft’s supply chain for its most powerful console will continue for several more months. He has so declared Tim Stuart, Chief Financial Officer of the Video Game Division.
In a talk with investors organized by a financial services company, picked up by GamesIndustry, Stuart said he expected “the supply chain situation to remain difficult until 2022 and the holiday season”, so we will still be reading for a while sold out posters.
The latest closures in China have also affected XboxAmong the reasons given for these problems, in addition to the semiconductor crisis, the latest lockdowns in China are mentioned. Likewise, Stuart mentions that hardware manufacturers face two major problems; on the one hand the lack of parts, which favors the Xbox Series S, and on the other substantially higher prices in terms of logistics.
Despite everything, it seems to be easier to find opportunities to get an Xbox Series X, which together with Xbox Series S continues to enjoy very good health, surpassing PS5 in several markets such as the United States. Sony’s console, for its part, recently reported a new sales milestone.
