I just love how you guys blatantly ignore evidence. Read my post above and you will see how easy you can get from stores in the uk.
Phil Spencer: Xbox Series S|X will be supply constrained until 2023.

Well i was told earlier that you may not of seen a XSX on store shelves, but stores have them in the back (for some reason), and you have do a secret handshake to a store worker and ask them to sneak you one from the back, apparently.

PS5 is starting to become more available too yes. Who said the opposite ?
But compare the trackers and PS5 is definitely less available around the world than Series consoles. Series S has been available for months, when there was zero PS5 to be found.

Smh alot of retail stores in the uk are changing and operate differently. It's nothing to do with sneaking good grief.

And what percentage of the average consumer do you think goes into a store to buy a console, sees none on display, then goes and asks a coworker if they have any in the back?, i mean some will, but most wont.
Besides I, and others, were talking about OUR experience of seeing XSX sat on store shelves, not stocked away in the back, or online, etc.

Nah I don't want to take a loss on
Okay. You should buy some and sell them on.
a console that's been discounted.

Phil Said that that the Xbox Series consoles were supply constrained.
Not that they were more supply constrained than the PS5.
That seems to be where your issue is.

Why would the store continue to order more if they aren't selling the ones they have?
You know MS just doesn't show up at the door and demand they buy them right?

Here in Portugal i never saw the Series S going out of stock since launch. The Series X was easy available at launch and for around 2 or 3 months, then went out of stock as well untill recently. PS5 was available at launch for 10 minutes (window when i bought mine) then went out of stock and right now is the only console that remains out of stock. Both Series consoles are available in all online stores now.

I never said they didn't sell. Just that there are plenty of them. And the packaging always looks brand new no dust on it at all.

Of course, Microsoft just stuffing Germany instead of redirecting stock to better markets.

All I can say is that every time I'm there, there are also plenty of SeriesX consoles. I don't know if it's just this one Saturn, but it doesn't look like it. Funnily enough, there are also less SeriesS consoles than X.

I wouldn't call something that is so easy to get online "supply constrained", though I agree physical stores may be a different story. Everybody has access to internet these days. If they wanted a Series console, it would take them 5 minutes to order one online.
I guess it depends on your definition of "constrained".

You're not looking hard enough then. They're everywhere in Lancashire. We have plenty in stock at the moment.

Whether it be available on a shelf or out in the back, isn't the whole point that you can walk into a store and buy one?
I get it alot of customer will walk into a store and won't have a clue if they have one, but that's a seperate issue of why stores aren't making stock visible or atleast marketing to tell people they have it in stock.

You have zero credibility. Stick to giving lol emoji's and Sony threads. Seriously.
Saying that though, I just looked on Amazon fr and the XsX is in stock lol

I am in France which is PlayStation land, and both XsX and the ps5 are mere myths.

You have no idea how much stock for those consoles are on those online stores, so how would you know the X online isn't constrained? if a bunch of people who can't find them in retailer stores all started to switch to MS store and Amazon.com there would be no stock there either. Different demographics shop at different locations for different categories.

Series X is available on Amazon France right now :

If u are french u are familiar with Fnac. I just took a look at the french Fnac and found both series consoles available on the physical stores.
Here in Portugal they are available in both online and physical stores.

The guy you're responding to is lying, the Series X is not everywhere at all.

How about checking other retailers? In no way is series x constrained in the uk. Hasn't been in months.

I'm not seeing an XSX available for sale there.

One guy gave two links to get one new in the UK. Didn't you read that ?
Here you go you can order your Series X from argos :

Where's the constrain ? You guys crack me up, I hope you're paid to do that...

Like I said constrained doesn't mean impossible, Amazon is the biggest retailer and they haven't got any, simple.

Lol are you serious ? It's in front of your head. I just put one in my cart on Amazon Fr 10 seconds ago. Do you have an account on Amazon Fr ?
Go to nowinstock.net if in doubt, you'll see Amazon Fr on Fr tracker says "In Stock".

You can use your pointless constrained doesn't mean impossible line as much you like it ain't constrained, you can walk into a store and buy that shit or order it online for months, as far as back as spring.
Argos, Smyths, Currys are massive retailers in the uk, they have the most stores behind only supermarkets. And they've had it for ages.

You really are a silly person
the constant trolling must be tiresome by now surely? The stupid laughing emoji you put at the bottom of anyone who says anything remotely positive about xbox.

I had no problem getting a PS5, doesn't make it not constrained as Amazon the biggest retailer shows. Come Xmas it will be sold out, Series S probably too just like last year.

Yes, those guys are so crazy. People gave all the links to buy one right now, for all the main countries all over the world, and they're still contesting what their own eyes see. That's hilarious.
Must be some kind of astroturfing, or the MS ambassador program. If they could bribe Digital Foundry and Polygon, I don't see why they couldn't buy a few poor souls on this place.

Series S in the States has been very available (at least online) since 2022 began , even before to a lesser extent.
Series X was very hard to find before maybe mid 2022 , now it's pretty easy to find one online and non bundle. Still not easy to walk in a store and just buy one though.
What's surprising me is Gamestop almost never has the Series X and when they do its a damned bundle. I've seen them used for $460 once briefly. But in terms of a new non bundle Series X not once , while Walmart, best buy , Amazon, and some others routinely have them for months.
It's annoying because I have $240ish on a decent switch trade in from last October and am planning on putting it towards the X , but it's never in stock. They need to give up the ghost and sell non bundles.
I just got an invitation to buy the horizon ps5 bundle from Amazon. Pretty tempting but I really really hate the design, it's a monstrosity and takes up way too much space . Series X isn't much better but at least you can put it on either side without some cheesy plate/holder. I will just wait for a redesign since God of War is the only near term game that interests me and it'll play fine on my ps4 pro.
I fully expect both ps5 sku's and the Series X to be hard to find by November however. Then guessing by February 2023 all Xbox and ps5s will be very easy to find hopefully for good.

People being daft.
I assume because there are links with PS5 available they aren't constrained either.
That's the way this logic works right?

It's not about your or me able to buy one, it's about the wider market.
Amazon have invite only system for ps5 you know why? cause that shit is actually constrained.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I mean, the Switch is supply constrained as well but you'll probably find one in most stores..
