Ps5 & xbox series x: delivery bottlenecks probably another year

The two consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X have been a coveted piece of hardware since the launch in November of last year, which rarely lingers in the trade. And in this unsatisfactory situation, it is apparently for a while.

A big impact on the bottlenecks has the ongoing chip scarcity. And as Toshiba warns, customers should set themselves that with a relaxation of the situation to be expected only in the coming year and beyond.

scarcity until at least September 2022

Takeshi Kamuchi, a senior employee who is responsible for semiconductors at Toshiba, emphasized in a conversation with Bloomberg that the range of chips will be very close to at least September next year.

And on: In some cases, we could find that some customers can not be fully operated by 2023. The manufacturers of game consoles are one of the customers most of the strongest demands. And it is truly sorry for your frustration, because none of them is 100 percent satisfied.

The scarcity on the semiconductor market has several reasons. On the one hand, the supply chains were practically paralyzed due to the Coronavirus pandemic last year, which is still on the production of consoles. In addition, the demand for semiconductors continuously increases. You are installed in cars, smartphones, household appliances and countless other products.

Despite the bottlenecks, some consoles are involved in the trade. But usually the stocks are outprighted in minutes or seconds. To make matters worse, many buyers only have the intention of selling their achievements on eBay and Co with an extra charge.
