It looks like one of the most popular video game retailers in the United States, GameStop, also experienced this demand and are now saying that the company has sold through nearly all of its inventory of the Xbox One X in one day.

“Sales of the new Xbox One X have been incredible! We have sold through most of our initial allotment in just one day,” GameStop SVP of merchandising Bob Puzon said. “We are already working with Microsoft to get our hands on more of the world’s most powerful video game console!”

It’s important to note that while most of its Xbox One X systems were sold, GameStop did not provide specific numbers or indicate just how many it was allotted to begin with. Still, stores across the United States should be receiving more shipments of the console soon.
