Amazon sells out of PS4, Xbox One launch day stock

4.7
Amazon and Best Buy are the latest retailers to tell consumers they've run out of their initial PS4 and/or Xbox One allocations.

Earlier this week, GameStop said it's currently not accepting any more PS4 pre-orders online or in stores, and now other major retailers have said their launch allocations of next-gen consoles have run dry.

"After a crazy and exciting month, we've sold through our initial allocations of PS4 and Xbox One," Amazon said on Facebook.

"We have the Standard Editions for both consoles still available, but we can't guarantee these at release. Please check back here as we'll update you first if we receive further release day allocations."

Meanwhile, US retailer Best Buy has stopped taking Xbox One pre-orders.

Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox One will be available in 21 markets this November. The Xbox One price has been set at £425 / €499 / $499.

Sony showed off the PS4 hardware for the first time during its E3 conference, when it confirmed a Christmas PS4 release date in Europe and the US and a PS4 price of £349 / €399 / $399.

I am not at all surprised that the day one units have sold out so fast, the introduction of next-gen consoles are always thoroughly exciting.

grimgaze22 I really think people should just buy PCs why waste your money every so many years for a new console


At some time you will have to upgrade or get a better PC, xbox one/PS4 will last for years, I am thinking at-least 10 years, unlike the iPhones :D. So it isn't really wasting your money. I do like PC gaming the most, but it cost more to go with PC gaming, but it is better in the long run.

Doesn't surprise me seeing that these consoles are in such great demand.

MRMURK4G3 Personally i like xbox better, but with a big price difference i think more people will go for the ps4 this time? :L


Well at the moment the Xbox One is winning in pre-orders. This number will likely go back and forth though
