I have a theory that Microsoft has tightened the noose around Xbox and is now demanding better financial returns.
There are multiple evidence of it and even hints by Phil Spencer that point to that. Increasing Xbox console price is a result of that, in my opinion.
And all that's fair, and good for them, but my point stands. Their business has not gone the way they thought it would go by this point.
And there is reason to believe -- plenty of evidence and quotes by Phil -- that Microsoft may be demanding a better performance from them. There is also strong evidence that Microsoft has cut the Xbox budget by a meaningful amount.
All these price hikes seem to be because Microsoft is tightening the noose around the Xbox division.
