If you did that the Internet would be slightly smarter.
Is that the US????
Again, none of you can accept basic information. For months, Series X was constantly selling out and could not stay in stock at the the top 5 retailers where +90% of video game products are bought. That's a fucking fact, I give no shits about Spain, UK, some other random nation. US sales only, Series X was going in and out of stock constantly. I've provided that evidence. I've provided Mat Piscatella saying Series X was harder to find than PS5 back in March. I've provided everything.
It all got confirmed for the millionth time when Phil said they increased supply in JUNE. Not March, not May, June.
Any of you coming at me about irrelevant shit is just that, irrelevant. I've been consistent about what I'm talking about. The US market did not have Series X readily available until recently. None of you can understand that because of your agendas.
This is the ONLY place that refuses to accept Phil Spencer said what he said back two weeks ago. "He lied!" is what idiots do because they want to keep their heads in the sand.
I'm at best buy right now, all consoles are available! What a surprise!
Can't wait for the next sales numbers to be out so we can see how the ps5 got destroyed in sales!
Ahh, we're still playing "let's pretend Xbox has a supply issue, 3 years into a console life cycle". That's what the sales are bad, guys.
This disingenuous behavior is exactly why I can't stand discussing gaming these days. Just admit you're wrong. Or that you're on the payroll.
It baffles me people are willing to paint themselves as idiots just to appease a company. You're proven wrong and you keep repeating the same old arguments with a source of "trust me, bro", against factual statements.
Have some self respect.

WOW WHAT A SHOCK TODAY YOU CAN BUY IT
Is today before or after June 11 when Phil said they increased supply?
What a sad fate it must be to think that because I say Xbox supply improved, that means I'm saying it'll outsell PS5. Being a console fanboy really causes brain rot. It's okay, your precious PS5 will still lead sales.
I have provided evidence this year that it was still having supply issues. Just because you weren't aware doesn't mean it never happened.
What that even means?
You can even buy physical Xbox Series X at Best Buy in several stores in US for months.
You could buy it for months at stores.
What are you talking about?
Over 90% of the market is sales from GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Amazon. Up to June 2023, Series X was selling out constantly at all 5 of those stores.
Stop playing dumb now. I've stated this before. But I'm sure you'll just post that dumb haha reaction and move on. Then the next month we go over the same info and you'll still ask what I could possibly mean.
And Best Buy stores told another story... you could buy in store all these months.
Stop trying to create artificial excuses because people can check it themselves.
Any address I uses you can find stores in less than 20 minutes with Series X.
do you have real documents showing that they increased supply? like factory documents? shipment documents?
we already established that Phil is lying about EVERYTHING.
Phil perjured himself in court regarding TES6 exclusivity. His public facing comments carry no weight.
You could not buy in every store, every day, and even then I've always said Best Buy was one of if not the best retailer to buy the Series X in the early part of 2023.
Again, I've been consistent about this. Now how about Walmart, GameStop, Target during that time?
I have the actual forward facing retailer availability to see if Series X supply increased.
Available on GameStop since the showcase, more stock sent to Best Buy to where it no longer needs the High Demand Product label, Target's in my area and a few states I've checked have more than than before, Walmart's about the same since May (which was an improvement from previous months), and Amazon started getting more stock since May.
It's pretty clear Series X has better stock today than a few months ago.
I could have bought it at any moment in the last year or even before. Even the scalpers on fb marketplace had to go below retail to burn their remaining inventory a long time ago.
Edit: I just checked, these things can be had for $100 less than market price!

Exactly. If these things really were supply constrained and not demand constrained, the secondhand markets would have priced it accordingly. But series x has been below MSRP for the majority of 2022 and plummeted in 2023. (BTW StockX charges a 10% fee so a $500 sale is going to be $450 the seller)
If you go back several months on ebay used consoles are selling for between $300 and $400. That's not a lack of supply.
