Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One sells through most of Amazon inventory in 6 hours

Examiner

Pre-orders for the Xbox One kicked off immediately after the Microsoft's E3 press conference on Monday. Demand for the next-gen console has apparently been brisk as Amazon revealed it has almost sold out of its allotment.

"What a day!We are thrilled by the unbelievable demand we saw for Xbox One. In the first six hours of pre-order availability, we've sold through most of our Xbox One inventory," a store representative wrote on the Amazon Video Games Facebook page. Not only that but the console quickly shot to to the top of Amazon video game sales chart.  

Part of the demand for Xbox One pre-orders is the Day 1 Commemorative Edition that comes with system that comes in premium black packaging with a limited edition Xbox One Day One wireless controller, as well as a unique commemorative Day One Achievement.

If Amazon happens to run out of Xbox Ones to pre-order, it also available to pre-order at Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart and the Microsoft Store.  The Xbox One is set to release some time this November at a $499.99 price. An exact release date has not been announced but those interested can guarantee a release before Thanksgiving.

Fuck, I'm so glad I had mine on pre-order since before the first reveal!



Holy shit!
Thank god I just pre-ordered.



It's just that simple.

damn it I'm not sure I want this offer though.... I usually buy the launch bundles with 2 pads and at least 4 games packaged with it.... any news on that front already ????



I'm not the least bit surprised. Their E3 showing was orgasmic.

499 US dollars is high, but dem games!

What percentage is have the system go on EBay?



Got my Pre-Orders in hell yes!



If i have any extra cash i plan on buying 2 or 3 and hopefully selling the extras o fund the one purchase. I'm excited



Nice! The conference was stellar they showed game after game after game. 500 bucks is much but 400 isn't any better in my eyes. Anything over 300 I consider too expensive and if I can live without it I do not need it.



The price means I wont be buying it year one, I still want to get some millage out of my 360 before I get XBO. .
