Xbox Series X supply update — This is when it'll get easier to buy
The launch of the Xbox Series X and Series S was the most successful in Microsoft history
Microsoft released its earnings report for its latest fiscal quarter, stating that the high demand of the Xbox Series X and Series S had "significantly exceeded supply," and not to expect more until its next financial quarter.
As seen on the transcript of Microsoft's meeting, CFO Amy Hood stated that Microsoft expects "continued strong engagement on the Xbox platform and significant demand for the Xbox Series X and S that will still be constrained by supply."
This outlook is for the end of Microsoft's financial quarter, which is on March 31. April is now looking more likely for when more Xbox Series X and Series S consoles will be in supply.
