In the wake of news that the Xbox One is currently sold out at Best Buy, and same for the PlayStation 4 at GameStop and Toys R Us, Amazon has announced that they too are sold out of the ‘day one’ editions of both consoles.
Amazon took to Twitter, where they said, “The PS4 and Xbox One release day editions are sold out. You can still preorder the Standard Editions, we just can’t promise a delivery date.”
Amazon has already had a policy in place where they would not promise delivery dates on day one unless customers bought games along with their next-gen console order. It seems for both consoles, even this is not a guarantee anymore. These early indications suggest that either the new consoles will truly see shortages around launch this holiday, or that Microsoft and Sony are being cautious about allocations due to uncertainty in manufacturing brand-new technology.
