The semiconductor crisis has affected all areas, not just video games. From desktops and consoles to vehicles and home appliances. The situation has already lasted for 2 years and does not seem likely to improve in the short term. Phil Spencersaid in September that supply shortages would likely end up being an issue for the Xbox Series X/S in 2022.. Now Xbox CFO, Tim Stuartreaffirmed what Phil said.
Thanks to GamesIndustrywe learned that at a recent investor conference hosted by the Baird Company, Stuart said the following:Microsoft expects supply chain environment to remain challenging through 2022 and beyond during holiday season“.
According StuartChina’s latest COVID-19 restrictions have had a major impact on supply chains. Although he mentioned that the situation of the S-series is more favorable than that of the X-series because of the components it uses.
This is not something that surprises us since the other consoles were also affected by the shortage of supply and both Sony and Nintendo decided to revise their sales forecasts downwards. Nintendo says there’s “no end in sight” to such global shortages as Intel said the situation could last until 2024.
