Online retailers see replenished Xbox One stock following holidays
Bundle-free Xbox One consoles have been available at most major online retailers following Christmas, including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, the Microsoft Store and Walmart. Bundled versions of the console are also available at several outlets, though their availability varies by store. Given Microsoft’s production of Xbox One, stock should continue to be available now that the console’s debut and the holiday shopping season has passed.
Xbox One entered “full production” in September, with the first shipments sent to retailers at about the same time. In its first nine days of release, Microsoft sold 909,132 Xbox One units, according to the NPD Group.
One of the most notable decisions Microsoft made with its console was to use DDR3 memory with an on-board ESDRM chip instead of GDDR5, which was partially done because of production yields. Xbox One architects said the decision was made for power consumption and “the commodity memory is cheaper as well, so you can afford more.”

The Xbox one needs to restock in a few places. But Sony need to get a wake up call to make more consoles. They're sold out everywhere now! :D

LiaFlutterlicious They must've sold so many in order to have to restock lol.
Yah, considering 1,000 were sold every minute, it sure was a lot of sales.
1,000 were sold at Amazon and I'm presuming there are many more buyers to come.

It was their goal to have enough stock at retail stores for the holidays so people could walk in and buy one without issue or long delays. I'd say they've met their goal just fine, it's why they decided to cut down the initial launch countries from 21 to 13 because of supply and other things. Sony by contrast seems to be spread thin with all the markets they're trying to cover.

Stex The problems are high with this one guys, go PS4, and thats coming from an XBOX fanboy!
What problems? I have my Xbox One on for over 6 days straight with no freezing, slowness, or crashing of apps while using it. Servers for all games are perfect and responsive. Its cold to the touch. Your probably just a sony fan, which I am with other products (2 Sony Laptop/Ultrabooks & an HDTV, Sony is awesome) So please explain what are these "problems"?

Just make sure to weigh out your options and make an educated decision when it comes to purchasing one of them. You can also put PC gaming into the equation
