The fact that there are not significantly more goods has a number of reasons that can only be blamed to a limited extent on the manufacturer and certainly not on the retailers, who in turn are confronted with angry customer reactions.

For example, shipping a container from China to Germany cost $1,500 just a few months ago, but now it costs $5,000. Experts believe that even five-digit tariffs are possible. In addition, containers are in short supply: in some cases, companies have to wait months for free capacities.
Not only console manufacturers are affected by this: The production and delivery of cars, refrigerators and smartphones is also crippled, and in some sectors the assembly lines are at a standstill.
The sell-outs are simply the result of high demand and limited supply. Digitec Galaxus can't do much about that. You just have to be patient.
