They haven't been "sold out worldwide".....ever. Microsoft is just flat out lying in order to feign high demand, so that people who don't do their research will buy one the moment it becomes "available" because "I have to get it now, or else I won't get it for a very long time", ultimately spurring sales.

Smart marketing move, but it doesn't mean they aren't lying.

Take some time and read the OP more carefully. They never said they are sold out world wide. Neither console is sold out world wide. But both are sold out at tons and tons of retailers world wide.

Oh, my bad, they were being deceitful and playing with words. When you hear "they're sold out at retailers around the world" you think "retailers around the world don't have any to sell". You don't think "oh, only certain retailers don't have them".
