Game controller shortage?

As in, Xbox pads, joysticks etc.

Have a look around online and you'll see there appears to be a shortage of everything.

Flight simulator?

Covid?

Panic buying?

Waiting to re-stock with the new ones would be my guess.

Factory shutdowns from anti-Covid measures around the world have taken their time to filter through the supply chain as previous stockpiles have now depleted.

Pretty sure the elite Xbox controllers are still in a good supply.

Yes, this. I've been looking for a new one as the left stick on mine has a dead zone when pushing forward / up. Gonna wait for the new Series X/S controller.

EDIT - You could still get the Xbox One and dodgy knock-off controllers online as of a week or two ago.
