Not even 24 hours after the North American launch of the Xbox One Microsoft sent a press release stating that “Xbox One is now sold out at most retailers,” but that statement must not have included Toys”R”Us or Best Buy.

Just a walk across Times Square from the location of one of the console’s big launch events to the local Toys”R”Us store, which happens to be the biggest store of the retail chain in the world, and also a very well known shopping outlet, would have confirmed that there are still plenty Xboxes to be had, as discovered by our valiant reporter Al Zamora, that went on reconnaissance today.

Talking with a store employee at the Time Square Toys”R”Us store we a learned that they  have “easily a few hundred” units left. You can check a couple pictures below.

But we discovered something even more surprising by walking two avenues further, to the Midtown Manhattan Best Buy store in 5th avenue. There we were told that there are still “a lot” of units left for sale. This doesn’t mean that the Xbox Didn’t sell well, though, as the store was allocated 1500 units, and they have more stored in a truck.

The surprising part? When Al walked to the gaming aisle he was greeted by the sight of several rows of the sleek black-boxed Day One edition Xbox One units, as you can see below.

Update: the third picture below comes from the West Hollywood Best Buy in Los Angeles, for those on the west coast that might want one as well, courtesy of N4G user JuniorCE.

On the other hand, both stores reported having no PS4 units available for sale at all (even if they may be covertly stockpiling for Black Friday like Walmart is doing), but it’s hard to make a direct comparison, as the Best Buy clerk told us that they received less PS4 units than Xbox One boxes.

That said, if you live in New York and want an Xbox One right away, now you know where to go, especially if you don’t care much for green and want one of those lovely black Day One editions. You don’t even need to hurry too much, as there’s plenty left.

Kinda funny that the day one editions failed to sell out.

I would pre order the console just to avoid that green box...
Why didn't they do all of them in black, they look really cool.

If you can find an XB1 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it.

It says at MOST retailers

We've been seeing reports all day that the console hasn't sold out everywhere. Some won't belive though.

Direct me to the stockpile of them.
There are no Xbox 1s in Montgomery County,MD. I begged and cried everywhere and can't find one.
Oh and tell that N4G user that he is a very reliable source and thanks for his finding.

Just checked Walmart in my area and where i use to live. All stores withing a 50 mile radius have them in stock in both zip codes.

Riiight. I didn't see that at first...
