Since their launch, both of these consoles have been red-hot commodities and nearly impossible to find. Some of the blame can be placed on scalpers buying up available stock and reselling it at a disgusting markup. However, the larger problem that has been plaguing these consoles is an overall shortage of the chips that are used in the manufacturing of these consoles. There was a massive demand for these parts in 2020, and that is likely to continue through this year while supply catches up with demand.
