According to the latest report, Microsoft’s wholly-owned subsidiary 343 Industries held the Halo: Infinite e-sports competition. However, because the Xbox Series X game console was out of stock, the organizers had to come up with a development version of the model for the competition.
The Halo Championship Series (HCS) Kickoff Major e-sports competition was held overseas this week. Both teams need a total of eight Xbox Series X consoles. Fortunately, there are screens obstructing the scene of the game, and the audience cannot see the equipment used by the players.
Although it sounds embarrassing that Microsoft can’t get enough consoles officially, to the benefit, this means that Microsoft has not stockpiled and restricted purchases at all, and limited production capacity has been provided to players.
Intel CEO Pat Kissinger recently stated to foreign media reporters that the global chip shortage will continue until 2023, and then the supply-demand relationship will level off. At present, there are still Xbox Series X/S and PS5 consoles on sale on the e-commerce platform, but the price is much higher than the official price.
