Microsoft has increased the price of the Xbox Series S in India for the second consecutive time in just 6 months. The price of the device in that region has doubled its original price in the rest of the world, but in your opinion, is this unprecedented price hike a prelude to increasing the price of the device in the rest of the countries?
In August last year, the company raised the price of the Xbox Series S in India to approximately $1,450. Currently, the device is priced at $1,485 in the same region, which is equivalent to Rs 40,000 in local currency.
This price is almost double the original price of the device in the rest of the world, and there is no logical explanation from the company for increasing the price there specifically. It is also strange that the Xbox Series X is priced at US$1,675 in India, which is equivalent to Rs 55,000 local time.
Sun Origins The source said that pre-orders of the company's devices will be applied at the new prices, starting from the 10th of this month. It is not yet known whether the Indian authorities had anything to do with it or not.
It is no wonder that this procedure paves the way for the start of price increases for devices and their accessories in other countries and global markets as well. 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, silently increasing the price of Xbox Series in India is not in the interest of gamers. It would have been better if the news was announced officially. So, do you guys think that we might see the prices of Xbox devices increase in other countries after they were increased in India recently?
