Xbox Series S available via Amazon India while Series X allegedly not in stock

Microsoft’s Xbox Series S is here. If you were mooning for the small and relatively affordable console, you can buy it from Amazon India. Although Microsoft.com shows both Amazon and Flipkart as the partner retailers, only the former has made it available for purchase.

Now, there is some chatter that the bigger and more powerful Series X is not in stock. As per Game Shopee, a Chennai-based sub-distributor of Microsoft, “due to logistics delay, Xbox Series X delivery will be postponed to the 3rd week of Nov”.

However, whether the same applies to big volume retailers like Amazon and Flipkart is currently unclear. We will be keeping a tab on the availability on these sites and when they are on sale, we will update the details here.

“As soon as any stock is available, it is going to be bought out, within a few minutes even,” says Morris Garrard, an analyst at specialist financial consultancy FutureSource.
