The Xbox Series X and Series S consoles have sold faster than any other generation of Microsoft video games. Even as the semiconductor crisis hurts the manufacture and supply of devices in the face of demand, Microsoft’s latest machines are outperforming previous Xbox generations.
The information was passed on by the head of the Xbox division, Phil Spencer, in an interview with the newspaper. New York Times. “We sell more on this Xbox generation, with the Series X and S, than any previous generation,” said the executive.
In this generation, Microsoft has doubled the possibility of offering to the consumer, with two very different console models, each offering a proposal, launched at the same time.

While the Series X is focused on performance, the Series S came to market with the promise of a better value for money. The strategy was different from that adopted in the original Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One generations, which only received new models over the years.
Asked about the stock of consoles, Spencer argued that demand is higher than ever. “When you think about trying to get an Xbox or a new PlayStation now on the market, they’re really hard to find,” he said. “And it’s not because the supply is less than ever. The supply is really as great as it has always been. It’s just that demand is exceeding supply for all of us,” added the executive, promising to continue working to meet demand.
