The competition’s prices are rising.
Today the news came out that Sony has announced a price increase for the PS5. The company said economic pressure and current inflation prompted the decision. It is said that the price of the console, still difficult to buy today, will increase by case a 10%. Of course, if the reasons given are valid, they could also apply to Xbox.
Windows Central has received a response from a brand representative about this. For now, the brand does not plan to change the price of the Xbox Series in any country.
“We are constantly evaluating our business to provide our fans with great gaming options. Our suggested retail price for Xbox Series S is still $299 (£250, $300); Xbox Series X is $499 (450 pounds, 500 dollars)”, said the representative.
Of course, this does not guarantee that it will remain the same in the future. However, there should be no short term change. With its reasons to capture a good market share, Microsoft has every interest in maintaining a differential factor in its favor. After all, the company suffered a major setback with Xbox One, which was very detrimental to it.
