Rollout for the SeriesX has been a disaster so far. Don't know wtf Microsoft was expecting, but 10 million consoles or w/e world wide is woefully insufficient. Tons of people with PRE-orders got cancellation and big delay notices already from Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, etc.
Walmart put some for online pickup yesterday at 12... they were gone in less than 15 seconds, most likely bots. Big box stores aren't liable to even have more *available* until a small batch before black friday, and maybe christmas, but those too will be snapped up quickly. Might be closer to mid-late Q1 before this thing is actually on shelves. Disaster level rollout and the worst of any major next gen console i've ever seen. Sclapers are selling them for an average of an 80% premium right now; I wouldn't even think of it until that comes down to 20% at most.
