The big difference here, of course, is that Xbox has always stated exactly when pre-orders would go live: September 22nd. Say what you want about the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, but announcing the exact release date (November 10th) and price points ($499 and $299) weeks ahead of when pre-orders would go live means folks aren't immediately scrambling to try and reserve one. You can check out Xbox's subtle jab below:

The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are both set to release on November 10th for $499 and $299, respectively. Pre-orders are expected to go live on September 22nd. By contrast, the PlayStation 5 is set to release on November 12th in the United States and November 19th globally, with the version containing a disc drive running $499 while the all-digital console will cost $399. Pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 are... live-ish, now.
