Xbox One Elite Controller 'Demand Has Exceeded Planning' - News
by William D'Angelo , posted on 01 December 2015 / 4,724 ViewsThe Xbox One Elite Controller has been quite hard to find since it launched on October 27th alongside Halo 5: Guardians.
This is because demand for the controller has exceeded Microsoft's original plans, according to the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer.
@NiTr0ian We are working to get more in stock, sorry they've been so hard to find.

@ZeZZeX It's tough as I don't want to overpromise. Demand has just exceeded our planning. If you find one and you want it, pick it up, sorry

The Microsoft Store page states that new stock will ship by December 28th.

I'm on the list lol
I'm curious to know how many of these were made. I'm always suspicious they purposely made less than demand. Nintendo is pretty famous for that.
I have no idea how they knew this but my local Gamestop said MS only made 20k units.
I'm curious as to what the sales figures are for this. I wouldn't be surprised if it was an artificial shortage considering how expensive it is.
Remember when they said it was too expensive? Where are they now :)
I really liked how you can change the buttons and stuff.
But so far i haven't seen it on display (like free to try out) at my shops.
Too short in supply to bother with display models. Why display a product which they don't have in stock to sell?
