Microsoft warns Xbox One X buyers to expect shortages at launch

With clear interest in Microsoft's Xbox One X, the company can't guarantee that excess stock will be available for launch.

Microsoft's upcoming console, the Xbox One X, is just around the corner – releasing worldwide on November 7. Set to deliver improved resolutions and graphical fidelity to Xbox One games, the device has garnered a fair amount of attention in recent months, with pre-orders selling out on multiple occasions.

In most countries it's still possible to secure an Xbox One X ahead of release, however, Microsoft UK is now warning that gamers should avoid leaving purchases to the last minute. In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Xbox UK director Harvey Eagle has warned that Xbox One X consoles may hard to come by over the launch period.

It was the fastest pre-order of an Xbox that we've ever had. I can't guarantee that stock will be available in launch week for people to just walk into a store and pick up. Demand is really high. I'd just encourage people if they want one at launch, to get moving.
