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.

XeTemp Not being mean but the Xbox one only sold out because the PS4 sold out fast.


What does this have to do with the xbox one sales??? They are two different systems and people will get what they want, just because PS4 sold out fast doesn't mean the xbox one will.

The Xbox one sold out in my closest GameStop, the PS4 is still in stock for pre-order.
The stores get 2nd allocations and sometimes even 3rd allocations on consoles.

Dead-Pool Does anyone actually think they will sell out everywhere if we don't pre-order? would i be able to just pick one up like a couple of days after it comes out?


It's hard to tell this early.

They just ran out of the preorders that Microsoft originally gave them.

I'm sure they will get more though.


Its out of stock? Wow these consoles are going out fast.

I'm still not buying either console unless they do something amazing, the Xbox One is currently far out of the question because the price is absurd.

Im waiting a week after release to make my decision.


Hopefully i can still preorder a next generation console in Australia. I'm considering going out and trying to pre-order one tomorrow before they sell out here as well
