Don't slip in the drool.

Is it a competition for these social media personalities on who can step on the most rakes?

 

[MisterXDTV]

you capitalize by doing it before the launch not after

Sure, it would work if it were an exclusive

Too bad 90% of people will buy it for PS5

LOL

Is he fuckin' wrong though?

Are you telling me that the Steammachine is next gen?

no just a glimpse at how much next-gen will cost.

 

[Team Andromeda]

Xbox PR makes SEGA America in the Saturn days look good, and that's saying something

 

[StreetsofBeige]

And if all this chip price spikes hold for years, next gen will be $1000.

Who knows what price they'll be and if they'll even come out in 2027. If you got no PS5/SX at all, I'd say just wait to see what next gen is like.

 

[Banjo64]

The abysmally priced 2tb model has been yeeted.

 

[Baemono]

« Xboxes are on sale »
« They increase prices »

On the same day, ffs

 

[VAVA Mk2]

This is awful

 

[DeepEnigma]

It's retarded, really.

And yes, that much is certain. Been saying that for some time now.

 

[reinking]

People here can't skip a chance to blame Microsoft/xbox for something

Sony will do it again too, the ram prices are killing everything

Well… Xbox is doing it now so they get the blame now, Sony will get the blame when they do it.

 

[DenchDeckard]

This is absolute madness at this point.

Next gen is fuckkkkkkked

 

[LordOcidax]

« Xboxes are on sale »

On the same day, ffs

I was expecting to see a drop in the prices when i saw the thread title

It's like two different Xbox divisions doing two different things. Like Sega with the 32X/Saturn trainwreck.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Retarded but true. Facts are facts no matter how much you like them

 

[Lokaum D+]

this has to be a lie

[SEGAvangelist]

Steam machine looks like good value right now lol.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Were they though? Their manufacturing of Xbox consoles seems to have been very low the past few years, to the point most places I've been to just haven't had any in forever.

Have you actually looked at Xbox stock? The consoles are available everywhere. Target, Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon. The supply issue was a straight up LIE by higher ups.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

You know how this works, Xbox does it first and Sony follows.

 

[LordOcidax]

Gabe is that you?

 

[Hyper_hyper]

Where's the people here defending AI?

 

[Mownoc]

Everything is going to go up again. Switch 2, PS5, even the steam machine will get a price rise within the next year. Heck Xbox may go up again next year too.

 

[nick776]

$800 for a Series X. Absolutely ludicrous.
$500 for a series S might be even more insulting.

I think the Series S price is more insulting, both are bad, but who pays that for a Series S?

 

[acm2000]

Sure, it would work if it were an exclusive

Too bad 90% of people will buy it for PS5

LOL

which is exactly why the price will go up before the launch

 

[DeepEnigma]

Sent from my Oceanco yacht.

 

[Rising_Hei]

I know Sony is fucking it up, but... WOW, XBOX...
Everyone will simply choose the PS5 for GTA VI.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

$499 for a 512GB Series S ???!!!???

Fuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuuu what a scamfest.

 

[RayBoy]

 

[SEGAvangelist]

You know how this works, Xbox does it first and Sony follows.

Yup. We just had a price increase, though, so it might come in a few months. I'm guessing Xbox still has one more increase in 2027 and Sony will have 2 (one this year and another next year). Maybe they start price cuts in 2028?

 

[Baemono]

I was expecting to see a drop in the prices when i saw the thread title

Same, I was like « is this a troll article from WC? » and it was not

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Lol, wtf! We live in truly unhinged times.

Only upside is that we're going to get very entertaining documentaries and retrospective videos in about a decade.

 

[kiphalfton]

Just a string of good news in the gaming industry those past few weeks.

Not just gaming industry, they just increased Apple product prices this morning.

I kept telling myself after COVID hikes that there has to come a breaking point, where consumers just can't afford it anymore, since companies keep increasing prices over and over again.

Seems as though we're not yet at that point. Then again, people are stupid and just go further and further into debt.

 

[onQ123]

$500 for a Series Shit.

I'm amazed that I never seen this nickname

 

[Hero_Select]

Anyone thinking next-gen consoles are coming out under $900 is going to get a very rude wake up call

 

[dorkimoe]

i got some news for you

Idiots spend $1,000+ every year on the new iPhone. $700-1,000/month car payments, etc.

These consoles are still cheap compared to that in their minds.

$1,500?

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I just remembered Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are Xbox console exclusives releasing after these price increases .....

 

[R6Rider]

$500 for a Series S is fucking crazy LMAO

 

[Horseganador]

Asha did a "great job" announcing this huge price increase on the same day as the GTAVI pre-orders. This makes it even clearer to people that they should buy a PS5 just for the game. If they want to kill what little remains of the brand, they're on the right track. What a rip-off, a Series S for $600 or a Series X for $800.

 

[Gamezone]

Most funny thing is that they are very responsible for the entire RAM crisis. They are basically killing their own hardware division by investing into their own AI bullshit.

 

[scydrex]

I'm glad I brought my Pro at launch. The X for $800 and S 1tb for $600 is insane.

 

[wipeout364]

I bought another series X a few months ago anticipating the price hike. I think I may just buy a iPhone 17 instead of waiting for the 18 to avoid the price hike.

 

[Brucey]

Maybe outside the USA they are hard to find? But Microsoft will always focus on US to the detriment of other regions.

 

[mckmas8808]

Xbox Series S 512GB: $399 --> $499
Xbox Series S 1TB: $449 --> $599
Xbox Series X 1TB: $649 --> $800
Xbox Series X 1TB Digital: $599 --> $750

$1,500?

I'm trying to be generous. Anywhere close to $1,500 is so dead on arrival but it really seems inevitable.

The industry is cooked

 

[Judge Magister]

 

[LordCBH]

$500 for a Series S is the fucking crazy LMAO

 

[SpiceRacz]

LOL $500 FOR A SERIES S??

 

[Botan32]

RIP Xbox

 

[Cakeboxer]

They had just been talking about better sales figures recently. I guess they didn't like that very much.
