White Xbox Ones Selling Out, Microsoft Not Likely To Replenish Stock

"We've built all we will have," Xbox boss says.

If you're in the market for a white Xbox One, available through the $350 Sunset Overdrive bundle, you may want to buy the first one you see. That's Xbox boss Phil Spencer's message to fans, as he notes that Microsoft is not likely to replenish stock for the holiday shopping season.

The Sunset Overdrive bundle was announced during Gamescom in August, and was originally priced at $400, though it dropped to $350 recently as part of Microsoft's wider Xbox One price cut. The bundle comes with a white system, matching white controller, and a copy of Sunset Overdrive.

White Xbox One systems were previously only available to Microsoft employees.

The Xbox One Sunset Overdrive bundle is proving hard to find, as it's listed as "sold out" on Microsoft's website. It's also unavailable at retailers like GameStop and Best Buy. Amazon is selling them, though it's doing so through third-party sellers, not Microsoft.

Microsoft has not announced plans to sell white Xbox One systems outside of the Sunset Overdrive bundle. On the subject of white Xbox One controllers, Microsoft says it has no plans to offer these for purchase outside of the Sunset Overdrive bundle.

Then I am "Not Likely" to buy an Xbox One. If there were only black I would have got one already. But, Microsoft, since you teased the white, which many prefer, and took it away, you make people wait. What's it worth to sell a few million extra consoles, a year earlier, including a year's worth of game purchases? You realize PS4 is available in a variety of colors including white. And they outsell the Xbox One.

<< LINK REMOVED >> if you like it that much, why didn't you pre-order like i did? now you'll have to pay much more. if they restock it will make it less special.

Great strategy. If he is saying the truth he boosts sales if he is bluffing he still boosts sales. Win-win scenario.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Yeah everyone who knows a bit about gaming will know they will make more white systems (whether it be the same white xbox or a white xbox slim) but there will be some people that will run out now and get one.

Smart by MS I guess.

Inb4 obvious rescinding where phil says in 3 weeks "Yea we'll keep making them."


Not sure why anyone wants the white one. Everyone hated the white 360 for good aesthetic reason. White consoles just look bad, not to mention unless you have the tackiest contemporary-nonsense motif going with your furniture/interior design, it just looks out of place.


Proper home furnishings are dark or black otherwise gtfo.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I agree to a degree I have all three of them and the white One is my favorite, its not like the 360 its glossier, Its just One of those things you have to see in person to really appreciate it. Though I will agree that it doesn't match your average living room set.

They have them in stock now. They have been shipping the sso bundle all over the world. They are still in production. Even have some countries waiting on their preorders to come in. Just give it some time. Like black friday.

That sucks. They basically sold out the day it was released. I was hoping to pick one up for Black Friday, but I guess the Assassin's Creed bundle will suffice....minus the awesome white design.

They can't get more on shelves this year. That isn't how manufacturing works. Given its success I think we will see it tied to a future title, but that won't help people who want a white one for Christmas.

This just sounds so weird, if it's so popular, why are they not making more right now to get more X1s out there?

I guess they can always make a normal Sunset Overdrive bundle, or if there already is one I guess it doesn't matter unless you're one of those people who want a unique console.

I'm glad, to be honest - the fun of getting a limited console is it being limited! I've got some old consoles in weird colors and I love it for the novelty

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I think that should apply more to real *special* editions, like if the console were of a special Sunset Overdrive design or something, but really, it's just white. I think every console should come in white or black as a standard just to match people's home decor. You can get smart phones and iPods and 3rd part controllers in a huge variety of colors yet for some reason, consoles seem to come in one standard color only to the point where plain simple white is considered *limited*. It just all seems a bit silly to me.
