PS4, Xbox One and DualShock 4 are all out of stock
In the past year or so, due to the raging coronavirus epidemic, the entire semiconductor industry has encountered capacity problems in all aspects. In the limited production capacity, individual chips have a higher priority, such as the Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X/S game consoles released last year. Although the next-generation game console has been in short supply since its release, it still has very good sales results. Especially PlayStation 5, in the case of global chip shortage, its sales figures are higher than the level of PlayStation 4 in the same time period after its release, setting a good sales record.

In order to buy a next-generation game console, gamers may need to snap up or even increase the price to buy it. If you think that this is just the case for the new generation of game consoles, it is too optimistic. According to Kotaku reports, a recent investigation found that in addition to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, Sony and Microsoft’s previous-generation game consoles PlayStation 4 (Pro) and Xbox One (X) are now out of stock. Even if it is in stock, the price is higher than the normal retail price.
In contrast, Microsoft’s situation is much better. In addition to more abundant supplies, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S have good handle compatibility. In addition, the more likely reason for the Xbox One(X) out of stock is the result of the gradual reduction/discontinuation of production. Regardless of the compatibility of games or accessories, Microsoft has done better in this regard.
