No numbers but they said they are working with MS to get some more.

Gamestop: Sold out most of their allotment of XB1X in 24hrs
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
That's good to hear. I think the successful launches of Switch and One X indicate there is still a market for premium dedicated gaming devices.
I was able to get one at GS without a preorder on launch day, but that was at opening for a mall location without a midnight launch
If you're in the US and are looking for an X, the Scorpio Edition is available on Amazon right now. The standard SKU can be ordered also, but it won't be ready to ship until the 12th.
Edit - The standard SKU is available to purchase on GS's online site as well.

This should be expected, if its not constantly sold out during the holiday season then that is a really terrible sign for the system.
I would think it goes on to sell better than Pro since it's a better investment for Xbox users than the Pro was for PS users. It's also the more powerful of the two so it gives multi-platform owners a better incentive to buy.
Are you doing a bit? Cause if so it's awesome.
Always good to see consoles have life breathed into them.
Got mine there without a preorder on launch but they didn't open at midnight and the next guy there was buying the last one when I left at 12:30 so they were gone quick.
Meanwhile in the UK at my local Game store
I just can't justify another system in the house when ideally I'd like a Switch for the portable side. (Already own a Pro and gaming laptop)
Things certainly are different over the over side of the world.

Come sit in my #GAME of thrones! We have some spare #XboxOneX in stock now! Signing up for the awesome Elite card nets you even more rewards, plus if your trading in your console you get 25% extra ;)

Well, it's currently readily available, at least in NA.
Either MS produced a ton of consoles or it's not doing huge numbers. It's possible demand will ramp up in the coming weeks though.
So many systems competing for the same dollar.
Black Friday is going to be interesting.
I think Sony is going to come out ahead on Black Friday because they will have the most units and for the people who can't find a Switch or XBOX I bet they are going to settle for a PS4.

Hmm, I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
Haha, is that you?
Expected, it's the console Xbox fans have been waiting for. Hope it does well, rising tide lifts all ships and such.
Gamestop Germany didn't get many units. My order was cancelled, due to MS not being able to provide the number that they promised. That's at least what I was told by the employee.
They also have no waiting lists yet, because they don't know when the next shipment will be. Heard and read tthatMS will have the next shipment in late November, at least for Amazon UK or something. Hope it's the same for other retailers.

I hope the launch gives the Xbox brand the boost it needs. Sony can get lazy when they're so far ahead.
I don't think so really, those purchasing an XBX most likely already have the XBO so I can't see them shifting to another platform just for 4K same stance for the Switch really (two totally different consoles)
IF Sony comes out on top it will be because more people wanted it. I just think if Nintendo can sort out their stock levels they will win BF and the Christmas periods.
Nah, just saw it come up on my Twitter feed :)
It starting to look like their have no faith in their product or it's pricing.
Indeed, Xbox One S sold better than PS4 slim in US and UK during the first months with most people who upgraded their OG Xbox One, I can see the same thing happened with the X.
"The real test is a few months from now" is like "THE" NPD quote. Now I'm just waiting for someone to say, "Next months NPD will be very interesting".
The 'S' brought more to the party though, it brought a UHD drive / HDR and also higher clock speeds for some slight improvements. The Slim PS4 brought nothing other than the removal of the optical out lol
We shall see, but this is a $500 console.
Black Friday will see the One S and the Slim at $190-$200.
I think the X will do well, but there is no way it's outselling $200 consoles.
My 2 area GS were sold out on Tuesday; I had to go to Target, where I bought the last of their allotment (3).
Looking forward to what their PR says about the launch.
Because in this day and age, a new console selling out of initial shipments is unremarkable.

Ah well, I'm sorry for the confusion lol, it just will be interesting to see how the system will hold up in 2018, strong initial sales was always a given.
You might be right.
I certainly would not settle for something other than what I wanted but I was assuming that people will be reacting irrationally and just grabbing whatever they could get their dirty hands on.
But it hasn't even managed that (the system is readily available at Amazon, GameStop, Target, and Wal-Mart, to name a few...sold out at Best Buy currently), which is why I'm really curious as to how many systems MS was able to produce.
It's readily available at GameStop as well.
It is? So like I could actually go find a store in my area and buy one? That actually isn't a good sign unless like you said they made a crapton.
Yeah I'll be really curious if Microsoft reveals sales numbers for this thing, if it actually is doing well then I expect them to be promoting that with real numbers as much as possible this holiday season, if they use shipped or combing them with normal Xbox One sales then yeah that doesn't look good at all.
Actually, the good news is Microsoft seems to have shipped enough to meet demand. If you want one, it seems you can find one, and that's great. I'm loving my X, and I agree with comments that it feels like a generational leap. Photos of a stack of consoles, like that's a bad thing, were dumb when the PS4 Pro came out, and they're dumb now.

I can't say that for certain regarding the stores in your area, but outside of Best Buy, it's currently available for purchase right now on every site I've checked online.
