A number of reasons: 1) There is a global chip shortage that is affecting all industries from cars to game consoles. This makes it difficult to manufacture the supply necessary to meet to great demand for these boxes. This shortage is the product of a number of factors that you can look into on your own time. 2) Due to the pandemic. the console makers decided that these boxes can only be purchased online as a matter of safety to prevent creating hot spots from people waiting in lines and packing stores. This prevents people from simply walking into a store and buying a console off the shelf. Given the current circumstances, I personally feel this restriction can and should be lifted. This plays into the next reason. 3) Due to the high demand intersecting with the popularity of sneaker culture that also went high tech due to sneaker makers/sellers shifting to online drops as a business model to generate hype for their new products, an entire community armed with bots designed to snatch up the latest shoe drops the moment they are available for sale had no issue adapting their bots to obtain consoles (And LEGO's as well as any other high demand, low quantity, easily flipped consumer good that could be procured online). Taken altogether, these circumstances contribute to a perfect storm of the average consumer being unable to obtain this scarce, highly sought after product without scouring Twitter stock alerts on the daily, which is how I got mine. Follow Wario64 on Twitter and make sure you are signed into every retail portal there is for easy checkout on the off chance you do get the slim opportunity to purchase a console.
