So if the original Xbox Series X cost 45.5 thousand rubles, it can now be bought for 40 thousand, while the PlayStation 5 is now available for a price ranging from 48 to 56 thousand rubles.
The main reason for the price cuts is the decreased demand for consoles as the market becomes saturated and competitive. Macroeconomic factors such as seasonality and the ruble exchange rate also have an impact.
Evgeny Kharitonov, editor-in-chief of Ferra.ru, noted that Xbox prices have increased due to the blocking of parallel imports of Microsoft devices. An important role was played by Sony’s blocking of accounts with an incorrectly defined usage region.
Both console manufacturers have restricted access to certain features, and this has also affected the price of their products.
