    Why Xbox Series X is not available to buy in India


    I want to order Xbox series X, On MS website it tells me buy it on Amazon or Flipkart but both of them does not have Xbox Series X to sell, I want to buy it and Microsoft is so lazy to make it available. Why you guys show ads when you cannot offer.

    :)

    Why Xbox Series X is not available to buy in India

    There obviously is a chip shortage - but the main reason for Xbox Series X not being available in India is just because of the below issues

    (i) Preferential allocation of available stock to specific sellers in India, that too of very minimal numbers (not even 1% of the demand)

    (ii) Promoting scalpers are able to buy them at MRP from major online stores (they buy it at MRP from approved sellers, and quickly list it at Quikr, eBay etc., for atleast 40% or more profit)

    (iii) Microsoft considers India as a growing market, and grossly under-estimated its selling capacity in India - still keeps allocating all its new stock to American/Europe/Middle East market, instead of a vast market like India

    (iv) Microsoft lets their approved sellers enjoy this peak demand, as even approved sellers selling at MRP tend to make better profit - hence retaining their seller base for the next product releases

    (v) They would like to sell Series S product which has no demand worldwide, and easily available

    (vi) Microsoft doesn't have a manufacturing plant in India - so they have to import products to India (which involves red-taping as well)

    (vii) They will never take the risk of alloting more units to India - if unsold, the price will go down drastically, leading to a huge loss to their distributors and retailers

    Possibly, even if they produce more Series X consoles per day, they are happy to sell the over-stocked Series S right now in India and redirect the stock of Series X to other markets. I also doubt, if there is a next gen console brought around 2026, it will also have the same fate - they would happily let the Indian retailers enjoy more profit, rather than add more consoles to India.

    there is a chip shortage meaning less consoles being made and higher demand.

    Unfortunately the console is out of stock at this time, but you can also check with your local retailers for availability as well.

    XBOX Series X availability in India

    There's a chip shortage at the moment due to the pandemic so there is limited stock of anything that uses chips,not just game consoles.

    Best thing to do is to look into signing up to somewhere that informs you when stocks become available via an app or email if you have anything like that in your region.

    Microsoft Flight simoulator for Xbox series x

    The game will be available along with rest of world in mid 2021.

    Price will probably be the same as it is now.

    Expected Prices (rupees)

    Base Edition : 3999

    Deluxe Edition : 5499 (roughly)

    Premium Edition : 6999 (roughly)

    You can just buy the digital edition since physical copies may not be sold in India. It will work on both Series S and Series X.
