Xbox Series X Pre Orders Are Just As Chaotic As The Ps5

Microsoft announced the official start date for pre-orders of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on September 9, and last week it confirmed exactly when the consoles would go on sale in direct response to ambiguity around the PS5. In the U.S., console pre-orders for both Xbox Series X and Series S went live at 8:00 a.m. PT. The result was less confusing than for the PS5, but no less chaotic.

None of this is surprising, although the speed at which it happened is for some. It was already suspected that Xbox Series X and Series S pre-orders would be limited. However, the volume of players grabbing them up may not have been anticipated by Microsoft. Gamestop, despite being sold out, has a queue to enter its website as of this writing.
