Massive Xbox Brand Price Increases

[J4MES OX4D 10,196]

Series S console alone is going up by £50 and standard games will also be up to £74.99 in the UK. US prices have risen further with $100 on the Series S and $130 for the Series X. Absolutely disgusting price increases on mid-gen machines and £75/$80 is unjustifiable.

 

Expedition 33 for instance sold 1m copies in 48 hours at a price of between £33-£37 and will likely reach 5m by June even at the standard £39.99. It is one of most highly rated games of the decade and its growing success will see a decent return. If MS think charging £74.99 for absolute shite is going to make them more money, they are beyond deluded. Also charging more for machines already made, shipped and landed is not going to go down well. 

 

Sony will probably be next as Microsoft weren't too far behind Nintendo.
