The time has come for Xbox fans to try their luck and get their hands on the Xbox Series X or S. Pre-orders for Microsoft’s next-gen consoles start tomorrow and it is definitely going to be a hectic day for the retailers. Furthermore, fans are well aware of the chaos that had ensued when the PS5 pre-orders went live. With this in mind, will Xbox pre-orders face similar difficulties?

Thankfully, it seems Xbox has everything covered. Microsoft recently announced a well-structured plan for their pre-orders, eventually teaching Sony a thing or two about management. They announced the details regarding the timings and the list of retailers who will manage the pre-orders.

That is indeed the right way to manage pre-orders.

Sony, following their mismanagement of pre-orders, made amends and apologized to its customer base and vowed to do better.

They have evidently taken a page out of Xbox’s book and learned from their own mistakes. Nevertheless, it is highly unlikely that Microsoft will face any issues with their pre-orders. The retailers’ websites may attract a lot of traffic, which could be a problem. But since they know what happened with PS5, they’ll definitely be ready for it.

Time to set the alarms and get ready to pre-order the next-gen Series X or S.
