Xbox One X Gets First Price Drop Promotion; Scorpio Edition Also Restocked On Amazon UK

ThisGenGaming says "Amazon UK has dropped the price for the Xbox One X for Black Friday 2017 along with restocking the Scorpio Edition."

[bloodyspasm]

I wonder how they can keep restocking the Scorpio Edition? Weren't those limited?

[thekhurg]

They had day one editions of original launch console well over a year after launch.

[VforVideogames]

Microsoft don't know the meaning of limited edition.

[RosweeSon]

That was a bit different tho as sales were struggling compared to as they were saying Scorpio fastest selling console we’ve had etc etc. Sold out?... if this was nintendo we’d be hearing cries of artificial demand, when actually it’s just one company understands the word limited means you don’t produce millions.
Bit like when battlefield upgraded all players all pre ordered standard edition to the Limited Edition?... so it’s limited to 5 million?.. and there’s no standard edition now 🙄😂✌🏻&# 129299;🕹

[thekhurg]

@roswee

If you go back, you'll find that MS said the OG Xbone was also their fastest selling console ever. So it's kind of the exact same thing.

[Razzer]

Obviously the Scorpio Edition was not nearly as limited as they let on. Major Nelson said during its reveal that when they were sold out there be no more. And yet, here they are.....yet again.

[Godmars290]

Holy negative Nintendo Batman!

[kevnb]

either that or they just didnt sell many.

[spreadlove]

They also said they released all of the Scorpio Editions, and MS cannot stop retailers from holding stock for a variety of promotions. Some were also delayed as there are major stock issues with Xbox One X.

[Razzer]

MS released all the Scorpio editions but some were delayed? lol...what? Post the links cuz none of that makes sense.

[butchertroll]

So, they lied just to create a false narrative how XboneX is selling good. Not the first time from them.

Btw, in 2nd week XboneX sales feel of a cliff in UK. Really, there is no numbers like for the launch week.

[S2Killinit]

Seems like they arent selling that well.

[RosweeSon]

Because it was obviously the more popular of the 2 set ups they launched X with standard and Scorpio x edition whatever it’s called. The snazzier titled one sold more sales are stalling on what can we do restock the Limited now not so limited edition. What’s the point of a limited edition console when over half the users (at these point I guess/suggest) have the Scorpio x edition hardly makes it Limited ey.

[conanlifts]

None of them are that limited. The uncharted PS4 version was listed as limited yet I can still purchase it in numerous stores. Scorpio was limited but never that limited. Even MS said it was the fastest and highest selling xbox console they had.

[VINNIEPAZ]

Maybe they learned from Nintendo about limited

[kevnb]

they got nothing on nintendo lol, people actually want nintendo systems.

[v_eno_m]

+1 for kevnb ^_^

[hamburgerhill]

Correction....people want Nintendo exclusives which are only found on nintendo systems.

[Malacath]

@kevnb

People actually want Xbox systems too. Seriously fanboys are a disgrace to gaming.

Instead of accepting that all 3 systems, Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox are great in their own right they resort to hating the console they don't own.

[yeahokwhatever]

@Malacath,
The high road seems like an easy one to take, but can you tell me at what point someone is allowed to hate a console? I hated my XBOX360. It made horrible buzzing sounds and lacked a lot of really good games found on my PS3. The 360 was a waste of my money. I hate that console. I generally hate Microsoft's passionless foray into gaming. The XBOX brand's crowing achievement was convincing people that paying monthly to connect your console to the internet was somehow a good idea. PC STILL doesn't charge you and magically people are able to play together on that.

[Cyborgg]

They're available at my local target right now

[Ashlen]

I wouldn't be surprised if they had some sort of agreement with Amazon to remove them from shelves so they could make their fastest selling claim.

There seems to be a lot of false information going on about sales on this thing. Like GameStop repeatedly saying they are selling out even though they have constantly been in stock.

[Kiwi66]

Yet you can still get limited editions of games & consoles etc long after release as for example you can still get the limited edition starwars battlefront 2 console

[Ashlen]

Kiwi neither Sony nor EA had a press release stating the Star Wars Battlefront PS4 sold out... And they definitely didn't make all sorts of press releases and have their executives out hyping up the media about "fastest selling console".

If Microsoft hadn't made that statement about the Scorpio Edition I promise you I wouldn't be scrutinizing it now.

[Kiwi66]

My point is more about the fact that "limited editions" can be brought at pretty much anytime which is kind of stupid if they're supposed to be of a few in number

[letsa_go]

I like how these fanboys are like...well there is old chocolate that is still selling that was limited...therefore microsoft did nothing wrong. lol Pathetic and delusional as always.

[conanlifts]

They are being restocked with weekly shipments. My guess is some stores were selling out but the main warehouse has stock from each resupply.

[WilliamSheridan]

If people cancel orders or hold back supply.

[RosweeSon]

Yeah limited to whoever wants one or the nearest million 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

[Razzer]

Yep. Unless they actually say how many are being made, “limited” is a very loose term.

This is a real limited edition.

https://kotaku.com/behold-t...

[RosweeSon]

It sure is Razzer and yeah that’s a limited one (the PS4 in the link you posted) very nice one at that, I did have one just couldn’t afford to keep it in the collection. Sure I’ll regret it when they going for thousands Haha
Some of the club Nintendo 3ds’ and poke center consoles from Nintendo are fantastic and actually limited as well hence we never see them around haha.

[DiRtY]

Oh, come on!
Gaming journalism is at an alltime low.

"The major retailer is offering the console at £429.99 which is a £30 drop in price as a special deal for Black Friday 2017."

The Xbox One X is £449! You do the maths.

[DiceAndRice]

Wow a minor typo means "gaming journalism is at an all time low" talk about an over reaction.

[thekhurg]

It's the internet. Everyone is a professional over-reactor.

[morganfell]

And everyone in the media is a professional liar.

[letsa_go]

It is an xbox fanboy, over reactions are their forte.

[LoveSpuds]

Not seeing those kinds of deals on Ninty hardware though.

[Razzer]

Seriously?

[asmith2306]

Microsoft panicking already.

[TGG23]

It's not MS though or an official price drop. It's price drop promotion from Amazon which won't last long.

[asmith2306]

Ah, I see.

[Cmv38]

When a single retailer does this, it usually means their stock is way too high, and need to get the systems out of the warehouse. Remember, all units shipped are paid for by the retailer. They don't get their profit until the system is sold to the customer.

[pingthing]

A lot of parents who don't need the item until Christmas will have skipped launch. Some people do actually wait till black Friday to buy their electricals for crimbo. Me.....I'm far too impatient.

[LoveSpuds]

Kind of worrisome that Amazon are looking to shift stock this soon after launch, perhaps they are overstocked? I haven't seen retailers knocking money off any Nintendo hardware yet.....which I pleased about as I paid the going rate earlier in the week 😃

[Bigpappy]

One out the Dumbest comments I have read in a while. You thing some one on the fence about spending $500 is going to make that move because it's now $20 less? This is more of a 'get it here' type of PROMOTION. Everyone else has it at full price.

[Freedomland]

Or get rid of it type

[TechnoGoat]

"Restocked" my eye.... they never sold out to begin with.

[LgbtWarrior]

Should have launched at 399. Way overpriced.

[xsta1ker]

then you must agree the pro should've released for 299. correct

[letsa_go]

Now, yes it should be. Although I got mine for $325 at launch. I have seen deals close to that in the past few days.

[LgbtWarrior]

Pro is priced accordingly. U knew what u were getting. Xbox x is not true 4k either. It’s “dynamic” except for a few titles just like pro. If it was true 4k then yeah, price justified.

[xsta1ker]

look @ all the sony guy's come out with there tin foil conspiracy theories prying for anything
to make x1x sales look like a failure... my ? is why what possible reason can you have
for this behavior towards a pretty dam good product.

is it all just brand loyalty.

[Pantz]

To those saying the Xbox One X is not selling well:

Amazon Top 100 sellers in Video Games category for all of 2017:
Xbox one X - #55 and rising
https://www.amazon.com/gp/b...
Playstation 4 Pro - #83 and falling
https://www.amazon.com/gp/b...

For reference the SNES Classis is #51

And keep in mind that the Xbox One X has only been out about 2 weeks at #55, while the PS4 Pro has the full year of 2017 in sales at #83.

[Razzer]

To compare PS4 Pro and Xbox One X sales, you would have to align sales numbers from launch. But that info is not available for either. But where are you getting "rising" and "falling"? Amazon doesn't show that.

[Pantz]

I've been watching the numbers.

[Razzer]

So you pulled it out of your ass. Got it.

[Kribwalker]

well we do know it sold 80,000 launch week in the UK versus 50,000 PS4Pros during its launch week
http://n4g.com/news/2122503...

so if you do align them with what we know, it has sold better then the pro in the UK during their launch

And about his amazon numbers. The pro was in the 70s for yearly best sellers when the onex preorders opened. So it has been falling

[Razzer]

"And about his amazon numbers. The pro was in the 70s for yearly best sellers when the onex preorders opened. So it has been falling"

Seriously, Kribwalker, stop making shit up.

https://www.vg247.com/2017/...

"As of writing, the PlayStation 4 Pro is currently sitting at #90 on Amazon’s Best Seller list"

[Pantz]

@Razzer 24 days ago i made a post about it and you even replied to it. X1X was at #76 and PS4P was at #82. X1X had dropped on the list due to being sold out over and over. It's restocked off and on and has climed back up to #55, while pro dropped down from #82-#83. Like I said, I've been watching the numbers.

[conanlifts]

I don't understand why VGCHARTZ suddenly becomes reputable for MS sales numbers. For anything different VGCHARTZ is terrible. For MS related items like Forza or Xbox X it is suddenly fine.

[letsa_go]

I guess amazon top 100 sellers is the end all be all for statistics huh? lol When the actual sales numbers come out, I am sure you will be finding ways to say it is wrong.

[conanlifts]

"24 days ago i made a post about it and you even replied to it. X1X was at #76 and PS4P was at #82. X1X had dropped on the list due to being sold out over and over.

You are fighting a losing battle. Suddenly I notice VG chartz is an accurate source of information and MS are evil for misleading customers about Xbox X being ltd. I have yet to see anyone have an issue with the ltd edition uncharted 4 ps4 console, despite it being a best seller numerous times and releasing in May 2016. It just seems people like to hate on the thing they have no intention of buying. The truth is both consoles have their advantages and both are great to own. From a company perspective both companies do things that people should be annoyed at, yet for some reason 1 gets hate and the other doesn't. Its random and showing complete loyalty to any company that you do not take a profit from is ridiculous.

[KillBill]

$573 US dollars. How is that a deal?

[Razzer]

Because prices are higher in the UK.
