Xbox One X is Fastest-Selling Xbox Pre-Order Ever

4.7
Today Microsoft announced that gamers have pre-ordered more Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition units in the past five days than any other Xbox console in the history of the brand.

According to the announcement, Microsoft saw record-setting sell-out times, and the console is currently out of stock in many countries around the world.

Luckily, if you did not pre-order you’re not entirely out of luck. Another wave of pre-orders will come for the standard edition, and details for that will be announced in September.

The announcement also comes with a couple of retailer comments, the first of which is from GameStop Senior Vice President of Merchandising Bob Puzon, who sounds more enthusiastic than he probably was at the Christening of his own son.

“Microsoft has done it again! The innovation and power behind the new Xbox One X console is driving excitement and demand among our customers worldwide. The speed at which we sold through our initial pre-order supply surpassed expectations, and what we experienced with pre-orders for the original Xbox One console. This new system is definitely going to change how video games are played!”

We also get a comment from German retail chain Media Markt.
“A great piece of tech with a great onrush. Microsoft’s high-end console hits the hearts and minds of our console fans. We were absolutely astonished with the run on Microsoft`s new flagship console of the Xbox One family. The Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition was the fastest sold-out Xbox console ever.”

Actually quiet surprised at this I've seen bigger hype for console pre-order's and heard less about this, but no doubt this console is going to sell fast!

Surprised to be honest as it is supposed to be a more niche console.

This is no surprise... everyone whjo was saying they'd not sell is an idiot lmao no offence, but it's the best console ever made.

I'm actually very surprised by this. I get how upgrades are pretty awesome, I just wasn't thinking that one that is mainly just for 4K use would get this type of reaction. I love the Xbox brand, but I just don't see where the X is that much better than what is out now. Oh well. Pretty cool they found success with it.
