Forums - Microsoft - The Xbox One Is Readily Available At Most Major Retailers!

It looks like you won’t have to wait for weeks or even months for an Xbox One. Unlike the millions of gamers that are on GameStop’s PS4 waiting list.

Germany a random Mediamarkt
Late evening as it is said.


Austria the same
Went out today to get some stuff and had to move through a few stores...Looked exactly the same.Didn't matter if big or small stores.
Maybe tomorrow if i have time i will take pictures cause i still didn't get the damn cable i was searching for.

At the same time Saturn SCS(location) RIGHT NOW has ~300 PreOrders for PS4 and gets only around 100.They did a huge mistake with taking PreOrders.
Mediamarkt SCS(location) gets around 100 PS4 Consoles  and 11 for people who work there(i get 2 of them cause i know someone there).Of course over 200 PreOrders.
As far as i know RIGHT NOW they won't sell PS4 Consoles for people who just try to get one with walking in on launch day.All they get in those 2 stores are for PreOrders and people who work there.Some stores in Wr.Neustadt got randomly informed they are getting a few more units than expected though,even a damn small store said they will get 15 extra consoles.Maybe Sony is sending more out after they heard Austria has more demand than supply.
Xbox One everywhere and far from sold out at around 4pm today in those 2 BIG stores(Saturn and Mediamarkt).Maybe tomorrow they are gone - Saturday is usually the time for people to buy stuff.

Europe is lost for Microsoft.More than ever.
If Sony can give the stores the amount of units they need it will be over here.Hopefully they will send out some more units next week cause i desperately need a 3rd PS4 for a friend who didn't PreOrder and won't get one.

so i just came back from my local target and like ps4 last week,... xbone is sold out.

...i was surprised to see soo much software in stock though. ps4 sold out of everything except knack. xbone had ample supply of everything except CoD:G and BF4. i'm guessing that means lower software sales; a lower attach rate would kind of make sense give the extra $100 price tag. ...or maybe just more digital consumers. dunno. will wait for numbers.



Just checked some numbers in my area. Out of 20 targets, 9 have the system in stock. Really wish I had the money right now!

 

EDT: I'm checking other places too, just for fun. LA has 16/20 stores in stock. New York has 13/20. Miami is 10/20. Portland is 17/20. Houston is 12/20.



Well it's definitely a demand issue here. MS shipped fewer Xb ones here compared to PS4's, yet every retailer has Xb ones on the shelf, whereas all retailers have PS4 on backorder. Great news for Xb one buyers, but not so much for MS.

It will be fun when the numbers out


you're very confident the numbers won't be as good as ps4 right? that's what i perceive from your comment.

and that proves its yields?

nope.


If it were in the low 600's i dont thinkyou would be able to spin it. However, it wont be that low



I little update from Brasil, guys.

It seems that Xbox One is sold out at every physical retail since noon (local time). Disc copies of Forza 5, DR3 and Ryse are also sold out, no copy of multplat games like AC4 or BF4 were available today.

I spoke to one of Xbox representatives at FNAC Morumbi, he said they sold 40 unities before midday, and FNAC Paulista more than 200. I asked if those where pre-orders but he confirmed that it was 40 sales. I didn´t inquiri further because I did not want to look creep.

Interesting and good english. Just one thing, fisical is spelled physical. ;)



I really hope this is true. While the Ps4 doesn't looks appealing to me at all the XOne may be a nice companion to my Wii U. I hope i can grab one before year's end.
