Xbox One X is the fastest selling Xbox pre-order, company reveals.

Microsoft has been hyping up their newest Xbox device since E3 2016 with the Project Scorpio codename. Up until this year’s E3, the company was slowly giving us little intel to hook its fans for more information. June 11th was Project Scorpio’s special day changing to Xbox One X name, getting $499 price tag – which many people were having doubts – a slick design resembling Xbox One S, and the smallest Xbox ever.
Today in a blog post, the company revealed Xbox One X is the fastest selling Xbox console ever. In the first five days, more people pre-ordered the world’s most powerful console than any other Xbox console.
“Within just a few days, we saw record-setting sell-out times and are currently sold out in many countries around the world. Our biggest fans, have pre-ordered more Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition consoles in the first five days than any Xbox ever.”
Both Gamestop and MediaMarkt released a statement congratulating Microsoft.
Gamestop – “Microsoft has done it again!
