GameStop halted Xbox One pre-orders because demand was too high – MS

4.6
This is according to Xbox chief of staff Aaron Greenberg on Twitter, who said demand for the console was “through the roof” at the retailer.

“Demand was through the roof, so pre-orders stopped for now,” Greenberg said. “Get on the GameStop first to know list for pre-order updates.”

No one knows for sure how well pre-orders for the console, or PS4 are doing as neither company will say – but Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said last week during a call to investors pre-orders were “two times” that of the previous generation.

Xbox One and PS4 are out this holiday season.

_Bale I don't see the point of pre-ordering, at the end of the day I still get the console anyway.
I agree, there is really no incentive for me to get the day on version and I can get it on the launch date at midnight just as easy, without having to get it later in the day from the mail. Each store will have enough to go around.
