Xbox CEO Asha Sharma attributed the decline in Xbox hardware revenue to a lack of supply to meet demand, a claim that seems inconsistent with the readily available evidence of Xbox consoles being sold in retail stores and online. Many people, including industry peers, have reported seeing Xbox consoles in stores and being able to purchase them online with quick shipping. This raises questions about the validity of Sharma's statement and the true reason for the decline in revenue.
The author of the article draws a parallel between Sharma's statement and the tactics used by Elizabeth Holmes in the documentary You Can See Everything, where she would make claims that were not entirely truthful. The author suggests that Sharma's statement could be interpreted in a way that is not immediately apparent, such as the supply of components being the issue rather than the consoles themselves, or that the demand is not as high as claimed due to affordability issues.
