Considering we had the discussion about Xbox series availability in Europe before I took some pictures in my local mediamarkt Belgium(Antwerpen)
This is the situation: Honestly a ton of Xbox series X units available and honestly has been the case soon after launch.
Bit weird to read about series X shortages in NA.
 
They got rid of the Xbox one/Series software department and just put some Xbox games in the PS department(mind you also got a bit smaller)
But yeah for every Xbox one/Series game their are like 10 PS4/5 games physically available.
Mediamarkt isn't a small company either with (almost) half of the population in EU + Turkey/Switzerland having the retailer close to them.
I wasn't kidding when i mentioned a few weeks ago that we are getting close to retailers in Europe discontinuing Xbox software
Imo, the price hike was a deadly mistake,
Discontinue White Series S, Replace it with the Black series S 1TBfor 299€ and Series X price cut to 449€ or 499€ with game.
Curious what the situation will be after Starfield release.

In Finland there's been Series X shortages the whole year and they sell out quickly. PS5 has mostly been available.
There aren't many physical Xbox games on shelves and haven't been in years since Game Pass got bigger. Less and less PS games too and gaming stores make most of their profits selling merchandise. Most Xbox gamers buy digital & subscription services and it'll happen with PS too I think.
