This past Christmas wasn’t as merry as it could have been for many people hoping for a new next-gen console. While both the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 launched in 2020, both were in rather short supply, but hopefully shortages won’t last too long, at least for Xbox fans. Microsoft has previously said they may be able to meet Xbox Series X/S supply as soon as April of this year, and in the most recent Major Nelson podcast, Phil Spencer elaborated on where Microsoft is at in terms of console production (thanks to the folks at Video Games Chronicle for the transcription).
I get some people [asking], “Why didn’t you build more? Why didn’t you start earlier? Why didn’t you ship them earlier?” All of those things. […] It’s really just down to physics and engineering. 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.
