Pre-orders for the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X officially go live next Tuesday, September 22nd, and it comes as no surprise that supply of those consoles will reportedly be "limited".
Specifically, the Microsoft Store is telling customers in the UK (via email) that "consoles are limited, while supplies last," but no specific figures have been provided about how much stock will be available.
Of course, the phrase "limited" is very open-ended, so don't go panicking just yet. Demand will undoubtedly be high for these systems however, so it's best to pre-order as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
Best Buy Canada also issued a similar warning to customers last week about the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, telling fans that "pre-orders will be limited, and we are expecting them to sell out very quickly."
Do you think there will be enough supply of the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X to go around? Share your thoughts below.

I received the same mail too. 💚🔥🙌
I plan on pre ordering the S, but I may or may not cancel it and wait depending on early impressions. The X doesn't fit in my media center, so I'd have to wait for a slimmer variant of the X, or make drastic changes, and I don't want to make drastic changes.
@NotoriousWhiz you echo my comments exactly! I wonder how many customers are buying the S based on its size, as it’s a MAJOR factor for me.
@Luigia Nice sarcasm 😂
I wish the colors were reversed.
I'm going to order the XSeX through the payment option.
I think there may be a few broken websites on the morning of the 22nd.
That's one way of trying to increase sales I guess!
The Series X and S were going to sell out no matter how many are available at launch.
One is the most powerful console in gaming, by far. And the other is a $299 next-gen console. Both are great deals & are going to be in high demand.
This will be my first time ever doing a pre-order for anything. Do you put a deposit down to guarantee your unit? Is it guaranteed for you once you place the pre-order or can you get shafted still? Should I be pre-ordering at multiple outlets? Are you locked into getting it or can you cancel the pre-order come November 10th? Who else is pumped to play on these bad boys?
>.< this is why I hate this stuff goes live on workdays.
@Krzzystuff Different stores have different policies. But typically, you put some money down (at least $5) and it guarantees you a console at launch (typically, you get about a week to pick it up). After that, if you don't get the console, your pre-order is not guaranteed and is usually also fully refundable.
I’ll just wait for 2021.
Console launches are always a little stressful worrying if you will get a pre order or not. These things sell out so quickly and don't hardly get restocked till next year
I'm still curious just how painfully limited the limits will be. XBox One had tons of preorder time (because nobody wanted one.) PS4 sold out within a few hours. Switch sold out in like 20 minutes and wasn't restocked reliably for 6 months.
Does anyone know how 1440p gaming works for people without TV’s that specifically support that NATIVE resolution?
Will it just say 4K in the machine settings and then downscale to 1440p?
At this moment I’m still waiting on the PS5 details and am 50/50 between which one I get. It may actually come down to which one I can actually get. Understand that most people love one and think the other is trash but in reality one is Messi the other is Ronaldo. You may prefer one but they will both be outstanding machines and if my football team signed on of them I wouldn’t complain which ever it was.
In theory that gives my twice the chance of getting a new machine!
