Speaking on the sidelines of the conference Jefferies Interactive Entertainment, the CFO of the Xbox division, Tim Stuart, considered it appropriate to underline that, from the estimates made by Microsoft, the stocks of Xbox Series X and Series S should not be able to satisfy the high demand for a few more months.
The senior executive of the Redmond house looked to the successful launch of Xbox Series X and S to emphasize how console stocks are not enough a meet demand coming from all international videogame markets: “I think we will continue to see these sorts of console supply issues until the quarter following the upcoming holiday season. (therefore up to April 2021, ed). However, our production and supply chain will continue to be at full capacity even in those pre-summer months. It is therefore from there that we think we can put on the market a sufficient number of consoles to satisfy the demand “.
Without providing any information on how much Xbox Series X / S sold at launch, Stuart explains that “I expect that within 6 months we will really be able to produce enough consoles to meet this high demand, which is going to be really, really great. The fact is that in the last generation we have seen an increase in demand which, frankly, is causing the phenomenon of video games to explode. Ours is now a $ 200 billion a year industry involving all user profiles, from children to adults, from boys to girls. There is no profile that drags the he asks, and that’s what we love to see “.
