Xbox chief says Xbox Series X inventory will be “tough” around the holidays

Xbox Chief Phil Spencer has warned customers that it may be difficult to get hold of an Xbox Series X console in the coming weeks and months. Just like in 2020 and 2021, the Xbox Series X is likely to be at the top of many gift lists this holiday season. And while it’s likely that console availability will be more widespread this year, it looks like the hardware will still be very hard to come by.

In a recent conversation with the edgeSpencer opened up about how manufacturing is going with the Xbox Series X. Because of shipping and manufacturing constraints that have cropped up in the past couple of years, the Series X, in particular, hasn’t appeared on store shelves very often. And while Microsoft is doing everything it can to make up for these issues, Spencer says Xbox Series X hardware will still be a rarity.

“[Xbox] You can find Series S in the market, which I think is a good thing. We have stock on the shelves, ready for the holiday season. “It’s something we’ve been building for,” said Spencer.[Xbox Series] Finding X is still more difficult. I mean, obviously our goal is for you to have great weeks on hand. […] The X will be hard to find, especially over the holidays, but I feel good about the S. I think it’s positive that it’s available in the market for families who want to come and maybe add a video game console to their household. “

While it’s nice to hear that one of Microsoft’s Xbox consoles should be easier to grab, it’s disappointing to know that Series X stock continues to get thinner. This will probably change over time, but at least for the 2022 holiday season, you might want to start trying to find a console sooner rather than later.

Trying to find an Xbox Series X console yourself? And if so, do you think you’ll have any luck this holiday? Let me know either down in the comments or message me on Twitter at Trustworthy.
