In recent weeks, Microsoft's Xbox division head Phil Spencer has hinted at an upcoming price hike for the Xbox Series. For the third time in a row this year, the price of one of the aforementioned devices has gone up in India.
Xbox Series X prices in India have never been more affordable. Home appliances are meant to be affordable for gamers, not personal computers that need constant updates and advanced specs. So when a company like Microsoft breaks its promise to gamers and increases prices of devices in India for the third time this year, we know there is a problem that is not easy.
The price of the Xbox Series X is approximately 56,000 Indian rupees, which is equivalent to US$$ 700 or 620 euros. This was confirmed by one of the players there via Twitter He urged Microsoft to take quick action and make a decision to resolve the issue.
This could be a prelude to the start of price increases for devices and their accessories in other countries and also in global markets. We recall that Phil Spencer confirmed that the company will never increase the prices of its devices. But then he hinted at the possibility of reversing his decision saying that nothing is permanent and it is impossible for the prices of devices to remain the same without increasing.
However, the issue of silently increasing the price of Xbox Series X in India is not in the interest of the gamer. It would have been better to at least announce the news officially. So, do you think, our followers, that we might see the prices of Xbox consoles increase in other countries after they were increased in India recently?
