Although the global supply of XSX, PS5 and Switch is tight, it is a general consensus among players except scalpers. However, I did not expect that "the landlord's family has no surplus grain". In this weekend's microsoft official "Halo Unlimited" competition, Microsoft was unable to match the XSX retail version of the host used for the competition, and even could only take the XSX development machine to fill the gap.
Tahir Hasandjekic, esports director at 343 Studios, said on social media that in this weekend's Halo Unlimited competition, racers will use a tweaked XSX development machine to compete. Why, if you ask, is because XSX's global supply is tight. Of course, the XSX development machine and the retail version are only a little different in appearance for the players, and there is no problem in using it.
Halo Unlimited competed for $250,000 in prize money at HCS Kickoff Major Raleigh 2021, featuring well-known esports teams including OpTic, G2, eUnited and Cloud9.
While the global semiconductor supply chain is tight, it is not uncommon for scalpers to hoard prices everywhere. Although the official has done its best and does not keep it, it is not as much that it finally falls into the hands of players. For domestic players, every time Xbox and PlayStation Bank released the last minute of the booking surge in the amount of booking, it reflected the host speculation and tension.
