Sony may have raised the price of the PS5 in select markets, but Microsoft isn’t planning to follow suit.
speak in a Squak Box section in partnership with CNBS AsiaXbox boss Phil Spencer confirmed that Microsoft has no plans to raise prices on its Xbox line of consoles.
“We’re always evaluating our business going forward, so I don’t think we can say to everything that we’ll never do something,” Spencer said. Around 3:45
“I can say with certainty that we have no plans to raise prices on our consoles. We don’t think it’s right for us to raise prices at this point at a time when our customers face more equality challenges and uncertainty Yes. Our console.”
Specer’s comments reiterated a Microsoft spokesman said in late August that the company had no plans to raise prices on its consoles.
Sony announced last month that it would raise the price of the PS5 in a range of markets due to high inflation and unfavorable currency trends. The U.S. is the only market that hasn’t seen prices rise — at least not yet.
