Microsoft has confirmed that it is currently experiencing a console shortage for Xbox Series X | S and Xbox One. Over the past couple of years, hardware shortages have been fairly common when it comes to video games. And while these inventory issues were more noticeable with consoles like the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, it now appears that manufacturing and shipping difficulties are starting to affect Xbox-related consoles.
In a statement given to VGCMicrosoft has confirmed that it is having a tough time keeping its various Xbox consoles in stock at its retail chains. For those in Europe specifically, it was very difficult to find Xbox consoles. As expected, Microsoft said the cause of this issue is related to supply issues, which have been the most common denominator for hardware shortages like this in recent years.
“We know that Xbox wireless controllers may be difficult to find at this time due to supply disruptions,” a Microsoft representative said in an official statement. “We are working as quickly as possible with our manufacturing and retail partners to improve this.” Please check with your local retailer for availability.
Again, it’s worth emphasizing that this whole situation may vary slightly in your mileage. While Microsoft has admitted that it has complications when it comes to keeping Xbox consoles available for free in different stores, this is an issue that will affect different regions around the world in different ways. As such, if you find that this stock is unaffected in your area, consider yourself lucky for the time being.
Moving forward, it remains to be seen how quickly the Xbox console shortage may diminish. Given that Microsoft has indicated that there is a problem, it is clear that the company is looking for a solution to the problem. As we’ve seen with the Xbox and PlayStation console shortages, these supply constraints are often difficult to manage for many businesses.
