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.

Obsidian It obviously isn't a junk console if it is 100 dollars more, and caused gamestop to cancel taking preorders.


It's $100 more due to the Kinect. I agree though, the Xbox One has shaped up to be a pretty good console


it's not only about the kinect, it is also because of all the business and family entertainment things they have put in their too

For Gamestop to stop pre-orders, than the console must be selling well!

I wasn't surprised when I saw that Gamestop ran out of Pre-Orders, both consoles will be very popular and the supply will be quite short compared to the demand.
