If you ask me, I suspect those "supply constraints" will be magically fixed once the ABK deal is approved.

I think you're right. I've been suspicious for awhile that Xbox may be self-sabotaging supply in order to give Sony a hugely better Holiday season and 1st quarter 2023 than Xbox, just so that Xbox looks like a sad wounded puppy in the eyes of the regulators, in order to help get this acquisition through. If Xbox looks like it's getting curbstomped by Sony in the 2 most recent quarters, the regulators might see it and be more inclined to think that Xbox needs ABK in order to compete.

I have these suspicions as well lol. I've had no problem seeing the Diablo IV Series X bundle available for pre-order, which is crazy to think considering how difficult it is to find a regular Series X. And if the deal closes before June, that'll be a huge marketing bump to get that bundle out.
