Xbox One stock will be available on day one, Microsoft assures
Speaking with GameInformer, Spencer said, “You want people to be able to walk in the store and buy one on day one, so you’re trying to manage the inventory that isn’t pre-sold. It’s not a yield problem, it’s us trying to manage the hardware side.
“I want parents who don’t think about pre-ordering electronics to be able to walk in and have a chance to find a box. There might be a line, but I don’t want it to be that if you didn’t pre-order in September, you can’t get one. That doesn’t feel like a great consumer experience.
“Availability should feel a lot better than it did for 360. If people want to pick up more controllers and games, they’ll be there. We feel really good about our pre-order number, and we’re managing it through allocation rather than demand. [Pre-order] isn’t the business. It’s way more important to me what happens when people walk in the store. The business is selling consoles.”
Are you confident that you’ll be able to pick up an Xbox One at launch, or have you pre-ordered the console just to be safe? Let us know below.
Xbox One is out November 22 in 13 territories.

If there was a shortage on consoles on the release day, then there would be a huge amount of hate directed at Microsoft. Hopefully nothing of the sort will happen, and everyone will get their consoles on release day. If for any reason there is a shortage, the Microsoft should include something extra for those people, be it Xbox LIVE Gold, a gift card ect.

I think it will go down $100, but it will take some time untill they make it cheaper.

I think the price is pretty decent, I expected a way higher price at first.

KatsumiDj3 does anyone agree that the xbox one looks like a box? i mean my router it looks like it
Yes, the Xbox One one does look like a box. I'm guessing because it's called the Xbox One, the name containing the word "Box"
Well what about the Xbox 360? The thing looks way better.

$500 is pretty affordable when you think of it, if you really want the console you can look into saving money over a year or so. Regardless it should see minor price drops over the next 2-3 years
