Unlike Sony, Microsoft it has no intention of increasing the price of its consoles Xbox Series X And Xbox Series S. Just a few hours ago, Sony announced the impending price increase of its Playstation 5 consoles, citing inflation as the reason for the increase. The PS5 will cost 50 euros more, the increase also concerns Europe and therefore Italy.
This news is only partially negative, for those hoping to get their hands on Sony’s consoles: in other parts of the world, the price increase will be much greater. On the other hand, those who have so far stopped to buy a new generation Xbox console can rest easy: the Xbox Series S will be offered at a price between 250 and 299 euros, depending on the offers .Xbox Series X will continue to cost €499.
With regard to a possible increase, we would like to inform you that the suggested retail price of the Xbox Series X and Series S will remain the same.
a Microsoft spokesperson announced on the Windows Central portal.
Recently, as part of an investigation for Brazil’s antitrust, Microsoft revealed for the first time that it has sold far less Xbox One than Sony’s Playstation 4. In fact, Sony would “more than double” Microsoft’s last-gen. consoles sold. Still, something has changed recently: the Redmond company is playing well on the map and has been able to ensure the continuity of the Xbox Series X supply chain, even during the height of the so-called semiconductor crisis. Added to this are the Game Pass offerings, which are becoming increasingly competitive and diversified, and the recent acquisitions of Bethesda and Activision Blizzard.
