If you've been after an Xbox Series X, this is a great opportunity. Xbox Series X is currently still in stock online at UK retailer GAME (see here). This stock has lasted since around 10 am on February 3, 2022, but it is still highly likely it will sell out very soon. There is only one caveat, it'll cost £464.99 (£20 above RRP) and includes a baseball cap. I mean, beggars can't be choosers, right?
But, this is still a great opportunity for anyone who has been waiting long enough to avoid the rush and disappointment of stock hunting. While component shortages are still heavily affecting the industry, the Xbox's continued availability spikes in 2022 might be a saving grace for the consumer, especially since you can also pick up a Series S for less than £220 regularly (see here).

On the other end of the console shortage, Sony is expecting to sell fewer PlayStation 5 units in the current financial year than previously forecasted. The company slashed its forecasts by millions of units due to ongoing component shortages.
Despite the lower-than-expected numbers in this financial year, PS5 has still seen major success. Sony reports that the console has now sold 17.3 million PS5s as of December 3, 2021. While hasn't been able to keep pace, PS5 still outsold PS4 in its first financial year on sale, and had the fastest-selling console launch in US history.
