Microsoft hardware sales down by 30%. They’re blaming supply constraints.

Its unfortunate but people have eyes and can actively see forza series x bundles collecting dust on shelves

If it were truly supply constrained and there was high demand the resale prices wouldn’t be under retail on stockx and fb marketplace right now
The normal Xbox Series X is unavailable on Walmart.com, Bestbuy.com, and Amazon.com If you take a forced bundle you can get it with Forza at some of those places.
Series s don’t count
That has not been supply constrained in over a year.

You act as if microsoft aren’t the ones making those bundles lol

If people don’t want to spend an extra 60 dollars on your console because you’re packing it in with an undesirable game thats just another bad judgement call on Microsofts behalf.

It would be the equivalent of sony packing Returnal in with new ps5’s and then wondering why no one wants to buy them

I mean series x being supply limited has been a consistent narrative for years.

MS obviously should have focused more on series X supply, but it is what it is. I'm sure they'll ramp up production for Starfield launch.




stopped reading at "Phil Spencer Says" :mjlol:

if his days aren't numbered...that dude must have nekkid pics of Nadella's wife.

Accusing a $2 trillion dollar company of lying to their shareholders is pretty wild. That sort of thing isn't just to feed console warriors online it has legal and financial ramifications.
They're being slick with their wording.

They didn't actually say the poor sales were down to supply issues although that is what people will infer. They attributed the high sales last year to increased supply. If they're asked to defend that statement, they'll argue that they had the edge on their closest competitor who was struggling with supply issues.
