In a recent interview, a leading Xbox official has said to expect both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S shortages through until at least the end of June 2021.
In an interview with the New York Times, Xbox's head of investor relations, Mike Spencer, said that supply of both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles would be constrained until at least June later this year. This goes a step further from what Microsoft CFO Amy Hood stated earlier this week, believing that the console shortages would continue until April 2021 (thanks VGC).

Currently, it's hard to predict console stock in the near future, given the COVID-19 pandemic still running rife in nations around the world. For now though, we'll have to take these educated guesses from Xbox and AMD personnel as the best information to go on.
