Many GameStops in the US are out of Xbox One Day One Editions
GameStop is still taking pre-orders for the console on its website according to Polygon. I tested this yesterday after the tweet was shared around the net, and again today. It’s true, you can still pre-order it through the web.
“Due to high demand, GameStop is not taking additional store reservations for the Xbox One Day One Edition,” a GameStop rep told the site. “However, reservations can still be made [online]. In the meantime, the Xbox One wireless controller and top Xbox One games like: Ryse: Son of Rome, Forza Motorsport 5, and Kinect Sports Rivals are available for pre-order at all GameStop stores or online.”
Retail managers apparently sent out a nationwide email a few days ago telling store to stop taking pre-orders, and some had even stopped taking launch-date orders already.
Polygon called stores around the country, all of which “declined to take Xbox One pre-orders,” the site said.
A store manager in California said the location has only been given an allocation of 16 Xbox Ones, yet were given 60 PS4 allocations and for which it was “still taking orders.”
A Texas store stated: “There’s no point trying any GameStops. We’ve stopped that SKU until we get notice.” A store manager in Ohio said: “All stores have been told to stop until we get some more units from Microsoft.”

slapshot101ShadowBoltDashie The GameStop near me was sold out on both consoles. I'm probably going to have to extend the search farther out to see if any other GameStops still have consoles to pre-order.
You can just pre-order from Amazon or Gamestop's online site.
Oh I didn't know that GameStop would still do that on their online site. I'm going to have to check that out and pre-order the Xbox One.

This was not surprising, it was selling 2,500 consoles a second. I don't remember if that was just for gamestop though.

slapshot101Katsumi Xbox One is a lot more popular than many people think. This article pretty much proves it
Not really it says in the artice that at most gamestops the number of Ones avaiable for Pre-Order is only about 20 when there are 60 PS4 for Pre-Order, it just looks better to have all your consoles sold out when PS4 is selling just as much if not more.

OpenTipAmmoSnowfl4k3z Gamestop doesn't exist in canada so I don't think this issue exists here in canada.
It exists in Canada under the name eb games you can tell because on the back of the receipt it says gamestop and eb games
It used to be called EB Games in the US a long time ago as well.
