Costco reportedly stops selling Xbox consoles online (US & UK)
Reports indicate Costco has removed Xbox consoles, accessories and related games from its US and UK websites. Some users also report a shortage of Xbox products in physical Costco stores, while sections for PlayStation and Nintendo remain active and stocked.
What we know
- Costco’s online listings for Xbox consoles and related products appear to have been removed across US and UK sites.
- PlayStation (PS5) and Nintendo (Switch) pages are still listed and selling hardware, accessories and games.
- There is no official statement from Costco yet explaining the removals.
Why this might be happening
Observers speculate this could relate to Xbox’s weaker sales this generation — the PlayStation 5 has sold nearly 80 million units while Microsoft’s Xbox Series X/S is estimated at around 42 million. There have also been ongoing conversations about Microsoft’s console strategy, including game ports to rival platforms and rumors about future hardware.
