Trying to get one Xbox X Series? You are not alone. Millions of gamers have been waiting since the product launch for the Xbox inventory to be displayed online, and honestly, Microsoft’s release of the new console on November 10th is starting to seem a bit of a hassle. Microsoft’s next-generation gaming consoles, the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S, sold out more or less instantly on launch day and then sold out in a matter of minutes every time there was some sort of crash. inventory to major retailers. . In part, this is obviously due to an insatiable demand from consumers. But there is little doubt that it also has a lot to do with it resellers and robots outperform average consumers to the fullest.

Currently, there is no inventory anywhere. In recent weeks there have been a handful of inventory drops at stores like Walmart and Best Buy. In fact, that same week, Best Buy announced some consoles for sale, which surprisingly sold out instantly. Walmart had its own inventory declines two days in a row, which ended faster than it took me to write. This means that, for the time being, all retailers are running out again.
We are on the lookout for Twitter and other news sources and will keep you up to date with what retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, GameStop and Target are planning. Still, it’s best to keep our expectations under control: Microsoft confirmed that in November Xbox inventory could be reduced until April 2021.
The following is a list of the main ones retailers selling the Xbox Series X.

Even better: if you don’t have a 4K TV and don’t expect to get one soon, try it Xbox S Series instead of saving $ 100.

If you want to get the latest from the Xbox Series X, there’s probably nothing better than the Microsoft Xbox X Series homepage. Here you will find the latest specifications, announced game titles, details about the new driver and more.
This is the Target product page for the Xbox Series X.
This is where you can buy the Xbox Series X at Newegg when the retailer has inventory.
Are you already desperate? Are you willing to pay a premium of hundreds of dollars on the list price? Listen, we wouldn’t do it, nor do we recommend you do it. But if you want to take that path, StockX is a recognized eBay-style site that will allow you to buy and sell new Xbox and PS5 models, as long as you’re willing to pay more than $ 650.
