Why does every type of next gen console or graphics card sell out instantly upon release?

1.20K views

I see people every day posting about their graphics card that is like a lottery ticket to acquire one. Same with day one releases of next gen gaming consoles

Could they produce enough of the product to meet demand prior to releasing it? That’s seems like poor business practice to me

The companies know how to make the most profit.

Storing unsold product in a warehouse until you have enough supply for every single customer would both cost money and potentially lose sales to a competitor releasing their product before you.
