Last week, Amazon informed customers who had preordered the PS5 that they might not actually get their consoles on launch day. Now, Amazon started to tell people who preordered the Xbox Series X that they might not get that console right when it’s out, either.

Last week, Amazon informed customers who had pre-ordered the PS5 that they might not actually get their consoles on launch day, and now, Amazon has started to tell people that pre-ordered the Xbox Series X that they might not get that console right when its out, either, according to reports shared onTwitter Friday evening.
Were contacting you about your order of Xbox Series X to let you know in advance that you may not receive this item on the day it is released due to high demand, Amazons notice reportedly reads.
Amazon has sent an email giving advance warning that Xbox Series X preorders may not arrive on launch day due to high demand
The email is similar to PS5s (and similar high demand items in the past). Can only assume Amazon is covering themselves in case shipping is delayed pic.twitter.com/XbFHkAvKqW

Amazons notices are yet another annoyance in what has been a messy pre-order season for the next generation of consoles (and Nvidias RTX 3080 graphics card). If you missed getting an Xbox Series X or an Xbox Series S, it appears that preorders are basically sold out, though the Xbox Twitter account said that you can expect more consoles to be available on November 10.
