Xbox Series X and S Sell Out Following PS5 Retail Chaos

Xbox Series X and S Sell Out Following PS5 Retail Chaos

Xbox Supplies Dwindle Ahead of Launch

Microsoft’s next-generation Xbox Series X and Series S consoles are sharing the same greyed-out treatment across retailers, with inventory running out worldwide in just 24 hours or less.

According to Xbox in a tweet, its console stocks saw a “record-breaking demand” while telling prospective owners to keep an eye out for more inventory at the dawn of launch.

We are humbled by the record-breaking demand for Xbox Series X and S. Huge thanks to everyone for the excitement. 🙏

If you weren't successful today be sure to sign up with retailers for updates, and expect more consoles to be available on November 10. 💚

— Xbox (@Xbox) September 22, 2020

This also comes off the heels of Sony, who recently apologized to customers for not being able to pre-order a PS5 console amid overwhelming demands. The hype was also fueled through retailers announcing their pre-order dates, leading stocks to dwindle from seconds to minutes when they were live.

But Xbox had also disclosed their pre-order dates earlier this week, while promising a better chance to secure their Xbox Series X or S on Day One by subscribing to retailer newsletters. These would also send notifications about their pre-orders, given out as limited spots.

According to GamesIndustry, games analyst and Nintendeal founder Andrew Alerts found a 750% spike of interest for the Xbox One X current generation console, suggesting other shoppers were fooled into taking the next-gen jump. It’s worth noting both the One X and One S were both discontinued by Microsoft near the end of its life cycle.

The Xbox Series X and S are launching on November 10, 2020.
