How can Microsoft be ok with people making money off their console. I realize there is little they can do but for starters limit it to 1 per person. Dont let 1 person buy out like 10 consoles.
I will never give a dime to those scalpers. Cant wait for Microsoft to put out a bunch at some point. Ill wait
Walmart had them today through all access but id rather be able to buy straight up.

Easily, when you do your master budget and sales planning, you figure how many of these you should manufacture during covid era of more people at home.
Then you make that many. Or don't do these slow releases.
That might not be mircrosoft per se, That could be retailers just getting a small batch and releasing them like that instead of building up a stock so it doesn't get sold in 1 minute, creating a even bigger craze because normal folk miss out on them.
Sometimes I don't believe they even have them. I've tried the ps direct way and the wait always says an hour but they get sold out within minutes. Like how many people are actually getting through to buy these? 10? 10,000?

If your time is over an hour on the psdirect just give up...you are not getting one. Sony is limiting it to one per psn account though

I wonder how much of it has to do with the shortage of chips being able to be produced.

Best Buy with some stock now

I mean, it's quite literally been spelled out in this thread, it's not about all of these random internet conspiracy theories. Chip shortage, long and short of it

got to the final verification code for series S and it kept saying incorrect even though it was exactly as listed in email. I guess that meant they were out. Just said frick it after awhile. Had them resend the verification code 3 times and none of them worked correctly. It wouldn't send another.

Raise the price.

This is a pretty basic example of supply and demand and the role scalpers have in managing resource flow of a product into the areas of most demand

Not distributing stock in stores is the problem.

The XBox Series X is worth every damn cent.

Or..should just be able to purchase now from Microsoft directly, limit of 2 or 3 per household.
Ans as soon as new stock is ready, its automatically shipped to you.
