Most gamestops are out of preorders because Corporate is micromanaging each store's availability. My store only got ~10 and we are a $1,000,000 store (meaning we on average pull in more than $1,000,000 in revenue). For an area with ~50,000 people that's pretty good. Why not preorder on the internet you may counter. Well, most people aren't going to want to drop the full 525 plus possible shipping 5 months in advance. I personally only dropped 186 at the time of my preorder (trade value of games and extra controllers).

Well technically the Xbox One really isn't in stock.
