Due to the shortage of chips, the next-generation consoles of Microsoft and Sony have made it difficult for players around the world to find a machine. This has attracted a lot of complaints. Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, not only complained for his own team, but also rarely spoke for Sony, thinking that the console is out of stock. Not a supply issue, but just too much demand.
Phil Spencer mentioned in an interview with The New York Times that in the face of the epidemic in 2020, the first priority is to ensure the safety of employees and continue to complete tasks. However, by April and May, all the hosts were sold out, which has never happened during the same period in the past. In the past, Phil Spencer emphasized that more Xbox Sereis X/S are now sold than any generation of consoles.
The same situation is not only Microsoft, but also Sony. Phil Spencer said that whether you want to buy an Xbox or a new PlayStation console, it is really hard to find, not because the supply is less than before, and the shipments are more than before, but for Microsoft and Sony, consumer demand is far more than supply.
Sony said in July 2021 that PS5 sales exceeded 10 million units in just half a year, making it the fastest-selling game console in history. As for Microsoft, there is no public related number. Analysts speculate that at least before October 2021, Xbox Sereis The X/S should have sold over 8 million units.
