Xbox One X Pre-Order Sales Outpace Any Previous Xbox, Microsoft Says

Scorpio Edition pre-orders are sold out in many places.

480 Comments

While it may not technically be a brand-new system, there is a demand for the upcoming Xbox One X. According to Microsoft, it's been pre-ordered more quickly than any other console in Xbox history.

As expected, pre-orders for the Xbox One X were announced and went live this past Sunday as part of Gamescom, quickly selling out. "Within just a few days, we saw record-setting sell-out times and are currently sold out in many countries around the world," Microsoft marketing VP Mike Nichols wrote on the Xbox Wire. "You, our biggest fans, have pre-ordered more Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition consoles in the first five days than any Xbox ever."

Now Playing: GS News Update: Xbox One X Pre-Order Sales Outpace Any Previous Xbox, Microsoft Says

No Caption Provided

Those on the fence about pre-ordering an Xbox One X may have been encouraged to do so by the announcement of the Scorpio Edition. This version of the console features an altered design and includes a vertical stand; more significantly, it will only be available by pre-order.

Microsoft doesn't plan to offer more Scorpio Edition consoles as a result of the demand, but pre-orders for the standard edition of the console (which carries the same $500/ÂŁ449/AU $649 price) are coming. The company will share more details about that wave of pre-orders at some point in September. You can follow the latest in our Xbox One X pre-order guide; we've seen Scorpio Editions pop up in stores briefly this week after selling out, so you haven't necessarily missed your last chance to get one at retail price.

Xbox One X launches on November 7. It features a substantial increase in power and is capable of running 4K games, though you don't necessarily need a 4K display to take advantage. Not every game will leverage the additional power, but the list of Xbox One X enhanced games continues to grow and is now over 110 titles.

LOL at the fake hype, look carefully at the words and dont fall for this sales trick, they are not saying that the xbox x sold more than any other xbox, what they are saying is that it sold faster and this is because if you intentionally put out a small amount of xbox x consoles for the first few days it will sell out fast, this is a old trick that manufacturers use to generate interest in a product that they think wont sell well.

@yukushi: "You, our biggest fans, have pre-ordered more Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition consoles in the first five days than any Xbox ever." That means it has sold more than Xbox's, 360's and Xbox Ones in the first 5 days.

Now you said that that means that it sold faster but faster doesn't mean more. They literally said "more" meaning that the amount that was pre-order must be more than previous consoles and in turn means that it couldn't be a small amount of units.

@yukushi: Yet those preorders number are higher than the PS4 Pro sales for the entire year, explain that? And that wasn't even a limited edition or quantity, nor has SONY revealed any sales figures on that (which they would have if it were in fact selling well as they can't help but boast sales figures when they are doing well).

@dlCHIEF58: console sales for PlayStation were split between the 9 ranked PS4 Slim and the 80 ranked PS Pro and people aren't buying the same console within the same year.

@thageorgian: its more about bring lucky the get the Scorpio Edition...if that was the main reason for those who preordered.

A slightly different surface,the vertical stand and the Scorpio logo arent the reasons i wanted to preorder one...just want to have the next Xbox at launch delivered at my home.

@sladakrobot: dude if it makes you happy that's great really, but you have to understand corporations create these demands and make it look limited. These pre-orders were a test run, to gauge the reception of the product. Why would they create so many xbox x's just for it to fall short and lose even more money then they do just making the thing. Inventory overstock is worse then shortage. Just like it happened with the kinect when microsoft was trying to sell the damn things and get rid of them in any deal imaginable.

@thageorgian: LOL, I guess you should get a refund from that community college then.

You obviously do not realize there is this first run limited edition and a standard One X version releasing at the same time (though delaying pre-orders on that until next month). If you do not realize or recognize that your statements are less than credible and most certainly laughable.

@thageorgian: of course every company needs to be carefull when its about releasing a new product. As Greenberg stated,MS thought the first wave of preorders should have lasted one week but its gone already on day one. Now they can better judge the demand

@thageorgian: the beauty of someones ignorrance is that the whole world is getting along with XbX preorder numbers surpassing the sales of the pro of the last 8 months but that particluar person still insists on hourly fluctuations of sales.

A hint...the sales of 8 months doesnt fluctuate anymore on hourly basis.

I could agree with you if both devices started fresh and both were only one week old.

Why cant you be happy with the demand and what MS delivered? Why is it for you hard to believe the reported state of preorders is true.

@sladakrobot: "We were opposed to using the Best Seller Rank because it is such a volatile metric. BSR is globally updated per hour meaning each product’s Best Sellers Rank is calculated and adjusted each hour. Each time Amazon pushes a BSR update, a given product’s rank can fluctuate dramatically. For example we watched a product’s Best Seller Rank jump from 98,000, one hour later due to one sale moved to 38,000, to the next hour rank fell down to 76,000. This is happening across the marketplace all the time."

seems like you're the one grasping. Run out of arguments there?

@pspearman: Lucky for how long? Maybe I consider myself lucky when they release them again, possibly with even a better deal from retailers in the not too far future? are you saying luck is getting a product a bit earlier then others? Because luck for me is getting the product with an amazing deal, or bundled with something cool, or waiting for it's real release and finding out what it can REALLY do.

@thageorgian: And I said NONE of that.

While I will get a One X at some point and would have loved to get one of these LIMITED edition versions of it, I am holding off as I have other priorities with my money at this time. I am no sucker, I buy what I want when I want as I did with my Day 1 edition Xbox One (and have no regrets on that). You are a sad individual that when an item has successful sales gets your panties all in a bunch and you have to find ways to denigrate it with whacked out conspiracy theories.

@thageorgian: Far from it, I am more educated than you by a long shot (also in a more valuable and learned field of study, which I say with the upmost confidence) and realize the difference between a limited edition and a standard, mainstream edition which has yet been put up for pre-order (don't need some alleged, worthless marketing degree to know that).

Educate yourself on the reality of the situation before you make yourself look any more foolish than you already have.

@dlCHIEF58: I really hope whatever college decided to give you a degree in those wasn't created by trump online, because if you don't see the business tactics corporations use as well as evidence presented multiple times in your face, then your degree is useless. I can assure you that whatever you were spewing here was not useful and certainly not beneficial to anyone, so I can hardly imagine you in the real world doing differently.

@thageorgian: Keep it coming, as your OPINION is irrelevant while my degrees hanging on the wall are far from it. Nothing you spewed was useful or informative and was barely correct. You fail to understand the most basic concept of a truly LIMITED EDITION ITEM in business, this isn't like Nintendo constricting supply on a standard item where your "theory" might apply. Don't need a "marketing" or business degree to know the difference. All you have done is shown bias and an underlying hate for a company doing well - how infantile is that?

You don't have to believe me as I and anyone of value knows I speak the truth. You are irrelevant as is your opinion, not to mention your community college "marketing" degree. Prepare to eat your own words shortly, such as your lunatic belief that the Project Scorpio edition is to be mass produced and pre-orders will magically open up again for that edition - I'll be waiting to force feed those words back to you.

Until then, I say GOOD DAY as I am done with your foolishness until you are ready to eat crow.

@dlCHIEF58: Which community college has wronged you so much that you hate it so? lol. Did you not like the professors, or did the community shun you in one? With that attitude I can see why. The "degrees" hanging on your wall is an ironic display of the understanding you have of anything, as you keep proving. My degree is hanging in my office as it's from a respectable college, and not on a wall in my parents basement. Your assumptions about where I went to college are as ridiculous as your repeated "crow" comments which are lame a.f, if I might add. I own an xbox 360 so your wrong about that too. If you really think these are the last of the pre-orders for a scorpio you're probably delusional enough to believe you will actually experience pure 4k with this console. Enjoy your day one xbox one LOL, did you throw the kinect away on that one? looks like you got got with that as well.

If you could actually read, you would see that I said the scorpio will be released every once in a while so as to make it look limited and not mass produced. Good luck to you, the wheel keeps spinning and corporations keep winning. And I'm sure you will be waiting, but I have already moved on to much better things with the knowledge that I am right and you are simply hoping you are as well ;]

@thageorgian: LOL, too rich. For one, I can read just fine...however you cannot remember what you wrote and trying to backtrack. Face it, you are wrong and have been schooled by your obvious better. I at least know the difference between LIMITED EDITION and LIMITING SUPPLY (don't need a PhD for that), I think you should definitely look into a refund on that tuition since they missed teaching you that in business 101. If you talk to them like you have to me, I am sure Vatterott will give you your money back with no questions asked.

Nice try at your feeble attempt to insult me or my education (which is MUCH more than you could hope for-never heard of a Doctorate in "marketing"). I said mine were hanging a wall, not where that was ( I actually DO have an office). And not that I need to justify anything to some poor sap like you, but my DEGREES (undergrad AND graduate degrees, don't know of any community colleges giving those out..marketing on the other hand...) are from a major 4 year college that happens to have a preseason top 5 ranked Division 1A men's basketball team.

Prepare for that crow meal as the Scorpio preorders are done. Standard One X models preorders will start next month. Don't try to change your story to say that is what you meant.

I say GOOD DAY.

@thageorgian: Yeah, from something called cancelled pre-orders and more stock than originally allotted which is quite common. Doesn't change the fact it is limited and will be gone soon. For someone claiming to have a marketing degree you sure don't know much about retail.

@thageorgian: and again that is false and non-existent. Where oh where is this big replenishment of what you called a purposely stock constricted item that has yet to materialize? Feel bad for yourself for wasting money on that budget CC degree, or was it mail-order?

I don’t care about getting a Scorpio, just proving how WRONG you have been all along which has been done many times over, you are just not intelligent enough to know you’ve been defeated or not enough of a man to admit it.

@dlCHIEF58: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-1TB-Limited-Console-Project/dp/B01GW8VG7O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1515548905&sr=8-2&keywords=xbox+one+x+scorpio+edition

"In stock January 17th order now". $499. first party amazon.

I just feel bad for you at this point lol.

And If I cared as heavily as you I can still get a new one third party for only 85 bucks more via amazon as well.

@thageorgian: So Mr. Marketing Wizard, where is the continued stock replenish of the Scorpio you kept insisting would happen? Better get a refund on that alleged Marketing degree since you do not know the basic difference between constricted stock and limited edition, which is basic retail. Long past time for you to admit your defeat.

@dlCHIEF58: "back in stock december 1st", amazon sold and shipped, $499.99. Scorpio edition as of 11/23/17. Can order now. Want to refresh that page yourself? Maybe give up? Any more ideas as to why its back in stock this time? It makes you look dumber every time Lmao.

Edit: also coming back soon to best buy and is in stock at my local gamestops. Google search. Lol

And If I cared as heavily as you I can still get a new one third party for only 85 bucks more via amazon as well.

@thageorgian: I have nothing to accept but your affirmation that you were in fact wrong and an apology. Maybe you should refresh your page as they have been gone since the 10th, only available from 3rd party sellers at inflated prices now as should be expected. Accept your defeat and the fact you are in fact clueless in this matter. Perhaps even seek a refund for that alleged marketing degree for not knowing the difference between a limited edition item and limiting stock for increased sales, though I think that the tuition was as imaginary as your supposed degree so no refund available.

@dlCHIEF58: lmao however you want to look at it, there are still, and will continue to be, more scorpios available to purchase. And that in itself defeats your whole entire argument.

@thageorgian: And your observation still means nothing as you have no concept of retail. When they are gone, they will be gone and I'll have that nice serving of crow waiting for you and your alleged marketing degree. Just because Amazon got more allotted to them than they made available for pre-order doesn't make you right by any means, just shows how clueless you are in terms of the retail business.

@dlCHIEF58: 3 days days later and its still in stock LOL. That must have been a ton of cancelations. Lmao. And I doubt it was for a lack of funds. If not that, then obviously because scorpio edition is as limited as the regular edition, which is hilarious. Lmao. Have fun with your special console tho! At least gamestop ALMOST sold out the regular version on release day.

And "Eat crow" for all your essays written out here because you have fell for the marketing ;) Here's some of the highlights you spewed!

"Prepare for that crow meal as the Scorpio preorders are done. Standard One X models preorders will start next month. Don't try to change your story to say that is what you meant."

"You fail to understand the most basic concept of a truly LIMITED EDITION ITEM in business, this isn't like Nintendo constricting"

"Prepare to eat your own words shortly, such as your lunatic belief that the Project Scorpio edition is to be mass produced and pre-orders will magically open up again for that edition - I'll be waiting to force feed those words back to you"

LMAO.

@dlCHIEF58: I see your multiple degrees haven't taught you to use proper grammar or word structure, so obviously you don't have multiple degrees and even if you did, you think your college is superior because it has a good.. basketball team? Lmao. Where or when did i try to change any story, are we even having the same conversation?

I should actually be thanking you, it's consumers like you who make the job easier for me, the target market you are in is booming as you prove here.

Oh also are you interested in this limited edition xbox 360 I have? It's not available anywhere else I promise, and I already sold it more then any other console out there, can't say exactly how many I had to begin with but if you pre-order it you will be so lucky!

@sladakrobot: He is right. They don't give a number just that it sold out Faster and as a Premium product it likely had less units to sell.

I appreciate how Microsoft has been handling the high demand for the One X, unlike Nintendo who never gives gamers a heads up on when preorders will be available. I'm lucky to have gotten my preorder for the One X, but even if I didn't it's nice to know other preorder waves are incoming.

@jablocanas: Its about independence & self governance would you like a government in Brazil made of representatives from all the south american countries, mexico and Canada enforcing laws/regulations on the USA without any input from the US senate/congress? The answer is no, it doesn't help when the leader of the EU is a drunk.

@gamingdevil800: Won't argue about drunk leaders, but the economic and social benefits far outweigh all this notion of independence and self-governance. You're still self governed and have your independence, you just make certain decisions with consideration to other groups.

@gamingdevil800: Your choice of course, but when many corporate businesses start closing local offices (already started) and prices increase, just remember that was the trade off.

@jablocanas: I'll believe it when I see it. As for price increases they only damage themselves really if it results in less people buying their products. Corporate businesses have been moving head offices out of the UK for years to tax avoid this is nothing new. Google, Boots, Starbuck etc all do it by having a head office in e.g. Sweden I believe with one member of staff.

@gamingdevil800: price increases aren't because companies are raising prices, they are because exchange rates devalue the pound making any imports cost more.

@jablocanas: There are winners and losers from the fall in the value of the pound:

The Winners are:

  • UK exporters who will be more competitive.
  • Foreign tourists coming to UK.
  • Foreign investors who find British assets / housing cheaper.
  • UK firms who earn profits abroad.

The Losers are:

  • Foreign firms exporting to UK.
  • British holidaymakers going abroad will find US and EU more expensive
  • Foreign workers in UK.

I don't have any plans to get one - but I do think the X1X is righting the ship from what the OG X1 was. The XBox brand has, in fact, always been more about GPU, MP, and multiplats once PC is taken into account. Cell CPU arguments aside, the PS has never been more graphically powerful than the XBox except during the onset of this generation. I don't think it's ever mattered, because IMO, while the XBox brand and PS brand have some overlap, they market to different mindsets, game preferences, etc. I don't see this new powerful XBox being a "threat" to the PS brand, while at the same time I think the X1X is a return to what the XBox brand's core fans are looking for.
