Xbox Series X, Series S stock in short supply; here’s when they will be available in India next

The aforementioned shortages don't end with the Xbox Series X. It is virtually impossible to acquire a lower-specced Xbox Series S as well. While both Amazon and Flipkart have the Series S up for pre-order right now with deliveries not expected until December 25th. Meanwhile, the Series X is nowhere to be seen on these e-commerce platforms now. Other digital marketplaces have either flat out refused to list the consoles. At this point, the only way to acquire an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S in India seems to be via brick and mortar stores. Major retail chains like Croma and Reliance Digital may receive a few units eventually, but they will undoubtedly fly off the shelves as soon as they arrive. 

A cursory glance on websites like OLX reveals that there are some units out and about. However, the prices are significantly higher than the actual Xbox Series X price of Rs 49,990. The Xbox Series S price, on the other hand, hovers around the Rs 34,990 mark across some of the listings we stumbled upon. At the very least, there are Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X units out and about in the Indian market, unlike the PlayStation 5, which still does not have an official India release or pre-order dates.
