Originally, Microsoft claimed these constant restocks were expected to continue until April 2021. Well, supply constraints haven’t eased, and the hunt for an Xbox Series X is expected to continue until at least the end of June. Hood also stated the PC market stayed strong despite ongoing global chip shortages, while Xbox Series X consoles were more affected by this compared to PCs. While the shortage of Microsoft’s consoles has been an ongoing issue since their launch, sales have still been strong. The earnings report showed Xbox hardware revenue was up 232%, while Xbox content and services revenue increased by 34%. Xbox Game Pass played a big hand in that. Sony also saw impressive sales in its latest earnings report, breaking previous sales records with 7.8 million PS5 consoles sold. However, PS5 stock isn’t easy to come by, either.

Check out the best places to buy an Xbox Series X, with Walmart (opens in new tab) and Best Buy (opens in new tab) being the usual contenders when it comes to regular restocks. You’ll also want to follow a Twitter account that specializes in gaming restock and deal notifications.
