The Amazon Fire TV Stick 2 has been out of stock for a little while, and now the Fire TV 2 has been going in and out of stock the last couple of days. I like to keep an eye on the availability of Amazon’s devices because low supply is often a good indication of next generation devices being released soon, but I don’t think that’s the case right now.

The Amazon Fire TV 2 and the Fire TV 2 Antenna Bundle have just come back into stock after being out of stock for quite a while. The Fire TV 2 stock has been relatively unstable ever since it went out of stock as a result of the Prime Day sale. Stock instability is usually an indicator of a new device coming, so we’ll see how long it stays in stock this round. There has been no definitive indication that an Amazon Fire TV 3 is coming this year, but even though the Fire TV Stick 2 was just announced, a new Fire TV is not out of the question since Amazon has been updating hardware one-by-one lately, instead of updating an entire line of devices.

It looks like yesterday’s short lived sale on the 2nd-gen Amazon Fire TV was pretty popular. The new Fire TV is now listed as out of stock for the first time, with an expected availability date of October 19th. This stock shortage could explain why yesterday’s sale only lasted half a day. It looks like, once again, Amazon underestimated the popularity of a Fire TV sale. While the new device has been suffering from poor initial customer reviews, due to some launch day software bugs that Amazon is no doubt frantically stomping out, it doesn’t seem to be effecting the device’s sales much. Since the Fire TV Gaming Edition comes packaged in it’s own retail box, its stock is unaffected by yesterday’s sale and remains in stock.
