Xbox One X Pre- Orders

Ever since its debut at E3 2017, the Xbox One X, Microsoft's latest and most powerful console it's ever created, has been met with plenty of interests. After the full-blown reveal at Gamescon 2017, pre-orders were made available to the public for the "Project Scorpio" edition and Microsoft was greeted with strong demand; it closed pre-orders within a matter of hours. Several Micorsoft officals talked about the demands and how it would affect launch and holiday purchase.

In an interview with Gamesindustry.biz, Xbox UK boss Harvey Eagle discussed  his fears for shoppers this season and suggested that anyone that did not get themselves in-line early for an Xbox One X could have issues during the holiday shopping season.

"The Scorpio edition sold out in record time," he said. "It was the fastest pre-order of an Xbox that we've ever had. I can't guarantee that stock will be available in launch week for people to just walk into a store and pick up. Demand is really high.

"I'd just encourage people if they want one at launch, to get moving. What I can say is that we will have new stock deliveries into retail each week as we get through to Christmas."

The console launches on November 7th, 2017 at $499.
