I wonder when we actually know PS5's demand. Right now we have yet to reach it with it being sold out immediately after becoming available. Imagine how well they could sell if manufacturing was normal.

I was wondering how the stock situation for the Xbox series have been lately. I checked some online retailers in Sweden and the series s seems to be in stock everywhere. The series x on the other hand was out of stock except 2 retailers and they sold it for 7500 sek which would be roughly 880 usd so way overpriced.

Does the stock situation seem better anywhere else or does it still seem like a global shortage?
