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.”

Fiji No doubt some of these will be faulty because of the rush to make them
They obliviously wont be faulty, its all on how well/skilled the manufactures employee's/repetitive Robots are at assembling the console's and I really doubt Microsoft is going to let loose hundreds of dodgy console's so they can be thrown away into a trash can, cause Microsoft will then be taking the hit of losing out on the profits their desperately wanting to make.. think first before you write something up bum face!!

There's always that chance, but MS will have some sort of service to help if that ever happened.

General_Raam Good to see MS can spit them out so fast. Sony is struggling to keep up with their demand.
I'm sure that they will be able to catch up with the current demand some time soon. Due to it being around the Christmas period it is bound of be extremely high at the moment

thats cause SONY likes to make sure they don't sell broken faulty systems like XBOX, dumbass, sony has a 0.04% fail rate. Microsoft had 1.0+ fail rate, there disc drive was broke, some where bricking, 1st patch would not install, some would boot up & stop not go pass green xbox logo screen. & some of the webcam would not work. so what about sony needs keep up demands hahaha SONY making sure they selling WORKING SYSTEMS, who the fck wants a RUSHED system it makes it more of a rish of being broken or have flaws DUH. so this is BAD NEWS
