I feel that the Xbox and Switch might be over-tracked due to this tweet from Mat.   Saying 'far more difficult to find' implies that we might not really be aware of the real supply situation.   It also implies that PS5 could have somehow sold more that it did if it had more stock which is really mind-blowing right there.  For Xbox and Switch if we need to make minor adjustments in the future we can look to this a a potential reason.  We probably wont see real stock stability until the second half of this year.

The U.S. console hardware market has not seen the end of supply constraints. PS5 is still not an easy get, and Series X consoles are far more difficult to find. Still a lot of story to be told for the current generation of consoles.

In March Series X stock has been terrible, which is what I was thinking he was referring to. February wasn't great, but not as bad as March. Xbox Series S stock isn't too bad and the reason Xbox Series sales aren't even worse. Of course, as always once more data comes in we always adjust our estimates to be more accurate. 

Oh okay got it.
