Just saw this over on Windows Phone Central: http://www.wpcentral.com/xbox-one-begins-ship-out-retailers The first batch of Xbox One consoles have begun shipping to retailers. Not sure if these are demo units or what, but they do have orange "do not sell by November 22, 2013" labels on the shipping boxes. Exciting stuff folks!
This article is kind of wrong. Units are not shipping to retail. Units are being made ready for retail and full production is underway. I'm also not sure they let it known where those units are (are they being finished in full in china and shipped to NA/Europe or are those the final assembling in NA *). * To clear up my point. Nintendo manufactures the parts/units in china/japan but does the final retail packaging here in the USA.
I would assume that they're in the US now (though they may have been fully assembled and packaged in China, I don't know), and judging from the article and blog it came from, they might actually be headed to distribution points. I wouldn't expect that they're going directly from Microsoft to your local store, but probably to the chain's distribution centers across the countries (I assume Microsoft USA will give the units to Microsoft Mexico/Canada before they go to those stores). So don't camp out to beat up the UPS guy delivering to Gamestop this week.
Sony to MS: I see your truck full of XB1 and raise you a factory. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=671749 [image]http://i.imgur.com/p0BkvHP.jpg[/image] leaker suggest this factory is set to push out over 1 million units (possibly all for launch) and that it might not be the only factory being used.
