Microsoft's Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X are two gaming consoles that have been released since the Fall season of 2020, earlier than the PlayStation 5, but is still looking at stock shortage as 2021 blooms. That problem is mostly blamed on the manufacturing problems that are caused by chip shortages and supplies.

Instead of happy and prosperous gaming during this pandemic and lockdown for aspiring gamers and enthusiasts, most people are engaged in the "Hunger Games" of securing a console from retailers. From Microsoft's direct online stores to retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and GameStop, people have been closely looking into restock updates.
The chip shortage has been massively affecting the production of the Xbox Series S and X, particularly because it is an integral component for the gaming console to function and carry out its commands. Moreover, the global chip shortage is also affecting a lot of industries including electric vehicles, smartphones, and computers.
