At the end of last year, Sony revealed its pure intention to increase the prices of the PS5 platform, while Xbox President Phil Spencer responded and explained his vision of not increasing the prices of the Xbox Series S|X in the same way because he sees, in one way or another, that the prices are still suitable for the company and for gamers, but this changes? gradually?

Xbox Series X and S have seen a price increase in Sweden.
XSS ➕ 19,88%
XSX ➕ 8,78%

It appears that Xbox Series S/X prices are increasing dramatically in Sweden. The more powerful version will see an 8.78 percent increase compared to the Series S, a price increase of approximately 19.88 percent, a significant and completely unexpected percentage. This is somewhat confusing, mainly because the increase wasn't determined globally, but rather for almost every country, as this isn't the first time it's happened.

Yes, this isn't the first time, as we've seen the first price hike for the Xbox Series S|X platforms. Last August, the company raised the price of the Xbox Series S in India to approximately US$1,450. Currently, the price of the device in the same region is US$1,485, which is equivalent to 40,000 rupees in the local currency.

It seems that the issue of quietly increasing the price of Xbox Series devices is not in the best interest of gamers. It would have been better and safer for the news to be officially announced.

Do you, our followers, think we might see Xbox device prices rise in other countries after India and Sweden?
