We previously learned that the PlayStation 5 Standard Edition was sold at a loss that was not determined by Sony, today the first official at the head of Xbox came out to explain that Microsoft is also selling the Xbox Series X|S at a loss.

In a recent interview with the head of Xbox Phil Spencer via The Wall Street Journal. In it, he talks about the difference between the way games work on consoles and the way they work on smartphones. Where Microsoft wants to enter and compete with Apple and Google.

This matter, and according to what Spencer confirmed, will be reached after the completion of the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Then, the head of the Xbox department moved on to confirm that the current generation of home consoles Xbox Series X | S is being sold at a loss of between $ 100 and $ 200 .. and he says:

Home consoles have evolved into a completely different business model than phones, with consoles sold on the market at a loss.

So when someone buys an Xbox from a retailer, we back that purchase with $100 to $200, with the expectation of recouping that investment over time through the sale of accessories and games.

Of course, this is nothing new for giant companies like Microsoft and Sony. Home consoles are put on the market and sold at a loss for months, if not years. Although it is not new to the industry, as there will be production and distribution costs. However, it is rare to hear numbers from official sources.

Sony, with the launch of the PlayStation 5, was selling the device at a loss until last year. But with the launch of the new model, it is selling for a very small profit.

Spencer said this several days ago during the Wall Street Journal's Tech Live conference. That the move to raise prices for services and devices is inevitable at some point, but there are circumstances that cause Microsoft to take its time, as has happened in recent times.
