In Canada, Amazon and Best Buy are the best options to buy an Xbox console. For UK customers, Amazon is still the king for purchasing them, but Argos and Currys have quietly updated their restocks, making them a viable option for fans to purchase from.

The scalper issue

The major reason for the lack of consoles on the market has to be the low supply from both Xbox and PlayStation. Adding to that, scalpers have made matters worse for everyone, denying thousands with their practices.

Scalpers are people who use bots or other means to buy a large quantity of items quicker than the average customer when restocks take place on websites such as Amazon. These scalpers then resell the consoles for exorbitant prices, given the huge demand for them.

Although console developers and retailers try to combat these problems with various tricks, the issue persists, causing problems for the average consumer. Customers still hold on to hope that the supply for the consoles increases and simultaneously minimize the adverse effects of scalpers.
