The Xbox boss has a lot of statements out today, some of which seem exciting and others seem disturbing, as is the case with this statement in which he clearly hinted at Microsoft's intention to raise prices for services. Game Pass and Xbox Series X | S.

Spencer said today during the Wall Street Journal's Tech Live conference, citing media Tom and rain That the move to increase the prices of services and devices is inevitable at some point, but there are circumstances that lead Microsoft to delay a little, as it came in the following hadith:

I think at some point we will have to increase the prices of certain things, but going into this holiday we think it is important to maintain the prices.

So, as is clear, Spencer's justification for Microsoft's delay in following Sony's approach, which recently raised the price of the PlayStation 5 by 10% from its original price, is that the company wants to wait to use the holiday season during the end of this year to compete strongly.

Keeping the Xbox Series X | S and Game Pass service at their prices despite the effects of inflation and the cost of production and publishing came with the intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to increase the price of Sony PlayStation 5 devices so that Microsoft can compete strongly during the upcoming holiday season.

This also means we could see an increase in Xbox Series X prices | SandGame Pass And other Xbox products over the next period and perhaps early next year.
