Microsoft released two next-generation consoles on November 10, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. The two consoles quickly sold out. At least the Xbox Series X remains nearly impossible to find worldwide, with some Xbox Series S stock available in certain markets.
The Xbox Series X|S has sold over 2.2 million units worldwide through December 19, according to VGChartz estimates.
Head of Xbox Phil Spencer in the latest Xbox podcast from Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb said Microsoft is working with its partners to produce as many Xbox consoles as possible to meet demand.
"It’s really just down to physics and engineering," said Spencer. "We’re not holding them back: we’re building them as fast as we can. We have all the assembly lines going. I was on the phone last week with Lisa Su at AMD [asking], 'how do we get more?' So it’s something that we’re constantly working on.
"But it’s not just us: gaming has really come into its own in 2020. Obviously, PlayStation 5 is in very tight supply. When you look at the graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia… there’s just a lot of interest in gaming right now and console sales are just a sign of that, game sales are a sign of that and hardware is in short supply.
"But we’re working as hard as we can. The teams are incredibly dedicated, and I appreciate people’s patience as we work to build more."

But wait until E3 2028 and we will show you how we manufacture more xbox series x and s
Good, keep the supply up.
RIP Series S
Series S is a little easier to find but generally still sold out. I actually bought one and I am happy with it. Its still a big upgrade for people who just had a base console or a Switch.
Series S is trash, they have deceived you
wait until E3 2031 and we will show that both series X and series S are trash
Correction, a very capable piece of trash. It can even handle trash like Cyberpunk.
hahahahahaha
The S isn't too hard to find, but they do need to up the X for sure. The S has been available multiple places for more than 24 hours. The X I've never seen available for more than a few seconds.
That's the thousands of scalper bots that will automatically pre-order the moment more Series X's are made.. Series S seems to find it a little luckier.
