Despite the promises of Microsoft and try to organize everything in a neater way than Sony, I make an order Xbox Series X and S did not go as well as expected. The consoles sold out in an instant and in many chains the situation was real disaster.
The situation was easily predictable, given the great anticipation for this new generation of consoles, especially after the exceptional ones. advertisements yesterday, or the acquisition of ZeniMax and Bethesda and the arrival of all their games to the Xbox Game Pass catalog. The problem is, Microsoft promised better pre-order handling than Sony, whose shortage of PS5s resulted in higher priced pre-orders on eBay and Subito.
Preorders started only today (here you can find Xbox Series X and S at the best price), but despite this all the consoles are gone, at least online, in a few minutes. There is talk of Xbox Series X sold out in Amazon USA and Italy and sold out in 20 minutes in the United Kingdom.
At U.SThe world’s largest market, but also one of Microsoft’s strongholds, the situation could only be worse, with the various chains unable to handle the large influx of people who have flocked to their sites.
GameStop I tried creating an online queue so that users wouldn’t keep updating the page, but the system doesn’t seem to work as expected and everyone has been stuck on the same screen for hours.
For the non-tech savvy: Gamestop tried to limit the strain on their servers by telling people they were in a queue and ABSOLUTELY NOT UPDATING THE PAGE OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PLACE IN THE QUEUE

Amazon page will error, while Walmart allows you to put the console in the cart, but the order is not processed. Same destination for Microsoft’s official website, unable to handle all requests.
As always, he thinks about it Major Nelson, Xbox Live programming director Larry Hryb, explaining the situation and asking fans for patience: “Pre-orders have started around the world and our partners tell us that the demand is high. We are doing our best to make as many consoles available as possible and to make sure the process is fair. Thank you for your patience. “
