Xbox Series X/Ssystems continue tosell faster than any previous generation of Microsoft consoles, according to the company’s gaming bossPhil Spencer.
In aNew York Timesinterview published in January, he claimedpersistent Xbox shortageswere not actually a result of less consoles being produced than was the case in previous generations. Instead, scarcity has been caused by a surge in demand since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“When you think about trying to go get an Xbox or a newPlayStationright now in the market, they’re really hard to find,” Spencer said. “And it’s not because supply is smaller than it’s ever been. Supply is actually as big as it’s ever been. It’s that demand is exceeding the supply for all of us.
“At this point, we’ve sold more of this generation of Xboxes, which is Xbox Series X and S, than we had any previous version of Xboxes. So it’s our job to get the supply there to meet that demand.”
