Also funny that Nintendo sucks for selling out while MS is having overwhelming response.

Anyway without any numbers, everything is always selling faster than expected...

And how is that comparable?

The Xbox One X pre-order is just a limited special edition. On top of that, the regular Xbox One X will be widely available once it launches.
vs.
The only version of a (retro) console that will be sold out for weeks and months after launch.

I was pointing out the general attitude of the press when it comes to things selling out in pre-orders. But yeah, you'll certainly be able to get an xbox one x at some point although not the special edition, snes classic likely not after watching the nes debacle.

Dunno why pre-orders can't simply work like you would expect. Put in an order, it gets made, get notified when your order is up. What's the point of limited pre-orders....
