That Series S 1 TB for $599 is disgusting, should simply stop production on the Series S and focus on higher production on the Series X Digital.

First console generation I haven't participated in.
This isn't changing that stance.

I think it's more in response to Steam Machine pricing.Just in time when Sony started GTA VI marketing campaign. This isn't accidental. LOL
$799 Series X (+$150) and $499 Series S (+$100)
They most certainly will. Just depends if it's before or after GTA VI release.Why? Sony might follow

Imagine telling someone in 2021 that XSX will be 800 USD in 5 years.

This isn't smart at all. You're assuming GTA6 is going to move all their warehouse dust collecting consoles for them so they're doing this EXTRA price increase to capitalize.
People will just buy a PS5, that's cheaper and they can actually see on a shelf.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
They're also doing this to condition people into paying more for next gen. Putting a $1500-$2000 price tag on Helix is a lot harder to do if the Series X could be had for $600. But when compared with an $800 7 year old console...
EDIT: we'll probably see yet another price increase before Helix launches too

This is the canary in the coal mine, if Apple can't secure RAM and Flash at reasonable prices everyone else is truly cooked.

I don't know how many endless times we need to see this happen for people to understand that this isn't an Xbox issue, or a Playstation issue, or a Nintendo issue, or a Valve issue.
This is an AI/inflation/tariff issue.

Gaming is facing its crash as we speak. We would never be like the one in the 80s, but you can't look to me and say with a straight face that this isn't what is happening right now. The industry is resctructuring right in front of our very eyes, and not for the better.

$600 for a 1TB Series S? And people still think the PS5 Pro at 2TB $900 is a bad deal?
Xbox really is going back to the 360 days, this is the "tard pack" all over again.

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

Yeah, I think they're purposefully killing off Xbox.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

800 DOLLAR

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
ladies and gentleman this right here...more than anything Asha, Greenberg or anyone else says....tells you EXACTLY how serious Xbox is about making their platform viable.
Short answer: If they wanted to throw Xbox a bone and make a serious effort to increase their user base this is exactly the opposite of what they should be doing.
Dont believe what Xbox tells you, believe what they show you. They just showed you they are not serious.

Yeah it's not going to get better anytime soon. It'll also hit Nintendo again.

I'm almost certain they're still losing money after these new prices. It's just a manageable amount now rather than $200+. Probably like $50-75 now.

Even if we dont take 229$ promo code discount thats still 269$ and im sure MS gets much better prices, how much better no clue

For the industry's sake I hope the Helix and PS6 are delayed by 5 years at least.

Sony is next but they're going to hold out as long as they can. I'd say August we get an announcement that prices are going up by 100 minimum but a 200 move would not shock me at all. The fact that MS is dropping the 2TB model altogether is a pretty big tell on what's coming. The fact that an entry level Steam Machine is 1000 is another big tell.
