GameStop halted Xbox One pre-orders because demand was too high – MS
“Demand was through the roof, so pre-orders stopped for now,” Greenberg said. “Get on the GameStop first to know list for pre-order updates.”
No one knows for sure how well pre-orders for the console, or PS4 are doing as neither company will say – but Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said last week during a call to investors pre-orders were “two times” that of the previous generation.
Xbox One and PS4 are out this holiday season.

Cokes-CP Sweet, at least I pre order mine over a month ago :D
The thing with gamestop, when you preorder something, especially a console. They have permission to give that console away and sell it to someone else before you pick it up, even though you preorded it. That's GameStops policy.
they give you a reasonable time frame as to how long they wait before selling it to somebody else (about a week)

Cokes Why even put the preorders up if you're not going to fulfill them.
I understand and agree but there are a lot more people going in to buy them.
