Xbox Series X\/S’ arrival last week marked Microsoft’s biggest console launch ever<\/a>, according to Xbox boss Phil Spencer, and stock for both machines is, as you might imagine, currently in short supply – a situation that Xbox’s chief financial officer Tim Stuart has now suggested will likely continue into April next year at the earliest.<\/p>\n

In response to query a regarding Microsoft’s plans to meet demand for Xbox Series X\/S, Stuart – speaking at the Jefferies Interactive Entertainment Virtual Conference (as spotted by IGN<\/a> and transcribed by Seeking Alpha<\/a>) – admitted, “I think we’ll continue to see supply shortages as we head into the post-holiday quarter, so Microsoft’s Q3, calendar Q1.”<\/p>\n

However, Stuart predicts Microsoft’s supply chain will be going “full speed heading into kind of the pre-summer months”, and that the second quarter of the year – Microsoft’s Q4, between April and June 2021 – would be when “the supply profile [begins meeting] the demand profile”.<\/p>\n
