After a replenishment problem, Xbox controllers are sold out in stores and are the meat of speculators on second-hand pages.
It is not the oil crisis, but almost. Microsoft has confirmed to the Videogames Chronicle colleagues what many users have been noticing. The Xbox controllers sell out Of the stores. Flying. They are more difficult to find than Viñambres speaking well of Xbox. In half of Europe, stock problems have been detected about which the company has declared the following:
“We know it’s a bit difficult to find Xbox Wireless Controllers right now due to a supply outage. We are working as quickly as possible with our manufacturers and sales managers to improve the situation. Check with your local distributors for more information on availability.
Spain is one of the affected countries. While in stores like Amazon you can hardly find the standard model and at an extra cost, on the Game and Xtralife websites they are sold out and on Fnac the resale has begun with prices reaching 250 euros. Xbox controls have fallen into the hands of speculation and these days you will have to have patience (or wallet) to get one.
These problems add to the lack of stock with the new generation consoles. Although the situation has improved, it is still difficult to get hold of a PS5 or an Xbox Series X | S without problems. The worst thing is that we are just getting out of the microprocessor crisis (the reason for the lack of stock) and the consoles are the last of the market’s priorities. In fact, it has been confirmed that there will be no consoles until 2024, so between one thing and another, we are ready. This was the next gen.
