Xbox Series X/S: Microsoft Says There Was A “Record-Breaking Demand” for The New Consoles

In a recent tweet, Microsoft spoke again about the start of pre-orders for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S recently.

Yesterday, Tuesday morning, Microsoft started pre-orders for the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S. In addition, the Redmond-based company spoke up again and spoke of record-breaking demand for both the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S.

Of course, this meant that not all customers who wanted to secure their console could enjoy their copy. Microsoft asks those affected to be patient here, as other consoles are already on the way.

“We are humbled by the record-breaking demand for Xbox Series X and S. Huge thanks to everyone for the excitement,” said Microsoft. “If you weren’t successful today be sure to sign up with retailers for updates, and expect more consoles to be available on November 10.”

In Europe, the new generation Xbox will be available from November 10, 2020, and will be delivered in two different versions. The Xbox Series X will be available for $499 and is aimed primarily at core gamers with its powerful hardware and the display of games in 4K.

For the casual gamers, however, the $299 expensive Xbox Series S is intended, which is delivered with hardware tailored to the 1440p resolution and without an optical drive.
