The reason why there are shortages right now is unprecedented demand which has lead to chipmakers not being able to make enough chips so MS and Sony couldn't just magically buy more chips as they don't exist.

There are far more chips produced than Sony or MS need.  They don't need all chips, they just need more.  So, they just need to get a tiny bit larger piece of the pie, and I'm sure they can pay their way to that.
