Xbox CEO Asha Sharma says Xbox console sales remain constrained by supply, arguing there is “more demand than consoles available” as Microsoft reports a decline in Xbox revenue. In her comments on social media, Sharma links the hardware picture to broader performance in games and PC, and says Xbox is working to get more consoles into players’ hands, including via an expanded refurbishment program.
Other outlets report similar messaging, tying the claim to ongoing pressure on Xbox hardware sales heading toward the holiday period. Kotaku frames the supply issue alongside an emphasis on used consoles, while Eurogamer and IGN highlight the specific “more demand than consoles available” line and note that hardware sales are dipping.
At least one outlet also signals skepticism about whether supply limitations are the main factor behind Xbox hardware weakness, citing that some industry data seen do not point to stock shortages as the biggest driver of performance. The coverage overall centers on Sharma’s explanation for the console slowdown and how Xbox is responding while financial results show a mixed picture across divisions.
