The power of the Xbox One X
It was an amazing sight. On the morning of Nov. 7, it seemed the impossible had happened: A sign outside the Yodobashi Camera electronics store in Tokyo's Akihabara district read "Xbox One X Sold Out."
What happened? It turned out that major Japanese retailers reportedly only received enough Xbox One X stock to fulfill pre-orders, which meant that if you didn't reserve one in advance you couldn't get one on the release date. Smart move for Japanese shops, maybe, but a shame for those who were a little late deciding that they really did want what Microsoft is calling "the world's most powerful console."
