Will the Xbox Series X/S Pre-Orders be like PS5 was today?

[Inglorious Man]

Do you think that the Xbox Series X/S preorders on September 22 be like PS5 preorders today where basically it was very difficult to pre-order a PS5 and was sold out instantly. I was lucky enough to preorder a PS5 from Walmart as backup and presumably GameStop website (it is on my purchase history but have not received a confirmation email). I am really hoping that Xbox Series X/S preorders are not as difficult as the PS5 was today. I think the Series S will probably sell out because of the price but I am hoping the Series X is easier to preorder. I want to preorder via Xbox All Access.

Depends on if they make it a free for all and the scalpers get wind of it.

 

[Wereroku]

Yes. Any high demand item will run into this unless they have a large excess of stock.

na i have faith in the microsoft store
idk about the rest tho

 

[UraMallas]

God, I hope not. Give me a set time they will be available at the MS Store and we are good

Btw OP, I don't believe you can preorder with All Access?

 

[hitme]

For scalpers? Yes.
For actual consumers? Availability will be there, but less demand.

I think it could be worse depending on how many people are gonna use All Access. I think you have to go through a credit approval for that

 

[Kevin360]

I hope not. This has been an absolute nightmare.

Next gen consoles always sell out fast

 

[Mecha]

From mayor retailers? It will sell out in seconds too.

Battle Royale in real life.

Doubt it will be such a clusterfuck given they planned ahead

 

[smurfx]

probably yeah since there are enough early adopters to buy every single console they release this year.

 

[Outrun]

MS has their shit together.

I hope....

Not really, never had so much trouble to get one in the past like I did today especially ps4, it was a breeze

This. I think Sony was a clusterfuck because they changed their plans to counter MS

 

[defaltoption]

No because it sounds like they planned it out

 

[TheGhost]

I just hope I get one. I don't want to settle for a S

Pre-orders are planned to open at 8am on the 22nd here in the UK, so it shouldn't be as random and haphazard as today was.

How would anyone here know that? Let's see next week.
