Microsoft Store

If you truly want an Xbox console, then you may have the best luck if you directly stake out the Microsoft Store. It most recently had stock on the afternoon of March 1. Microsoft also sells consoles through their online storefront for Windows and Xbox and has put out new consoles frequently since launch.

The main catch to order from here is that the Microsoft Store’s shipping can tend to be a little slower than other retailers. Still, it's a reliable way to find one so you'll want to heavily monitor the official Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S store pages.

Antonline

Early in the year, Antonline made a pledge to produce next-gen console drops every week. The retailer made the Xbox Series X available in late February. It's expected that the retailer will have more consoles available soon, perhaps later in March.

It should be noted that all consoles purchased through Antonline will cost a bit more than most. They'll be packaged with extra goodies like controllers and Games Pass subscriptions, which accounts for the price increase.
