Hardware is supposed to increase in price long after it's discontinued by the manufacturer. Did someone forget to tell the current execs?

Microsoft has been on a long road of slowly self-cannibalizing for months now, it started last year with it increasing game pass subscription prices and complicating the subscription model by splitting it into three vague tiers as opposed to the concise two tier system it had, forcing you to either constantly triple check what model you’re on or sucking it up and paying the full $19.99, it’s the typical anti consumer loophole.

isn't that the console that ask for a subscription to be able to play fortnite ?

Maintaining the everything is an Xbox agenda by increasing the price to insane levels, truly a Phil Spencer move.

To be frank, Xbox is definitely not selling much systems with those prices, God forbid even a $800 Xbox Series X lmao.

Well I am increasing the price of my plucked leg hair. I have about the same number of buyers for that as Microsoft has for the Xbox, so we should have about the same increase in profit.

Well at least game pass gives you 400+ games.
The PS5/PS5-Pro is nothing but an overpriced demo disc for the Steam Summer Sale.

Either way, Gaben wins.

I will be another proud owner of a Series S in a few months, because right now I can buy it second hand for around 150€. It's a console I always wanted to have despite of not buying a thing digitally, only for emulation. As the console is right now unhackable, it will continue going down in price second hand while Microsoft will continue raising its new price, quite a paradox.

It's almost like Microsoft wants Xbox to fail lol
