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.”

ConvergeShadowBoltDashie Well looks like Xbox One has made a comeback. I think PS4 was selling the most a few days ago? Either way the GameStop near me is out of both consoles so I'll just have to get one on release date.
PS4 is predicted to double microsofts sales.
Proof? and site?a recent survey by gameinformer showed out of a random selected 9,000+ People 5,381 Said they where going to get the new xbox, while 4,464 said they will be getting a ps4. Hmm that sure is double.
