It's official, Series S is the Pro console

 

[Jaybe]

 

[Oblivion78]

Bold to do it again after Sony had to raise prices

 

[Bojji]

Best gen ever.

 

[Topher]

 

[Ozriel]

all of a sudden I don't feel confident about that Xbox Ally X at $899 Topher

 

[Artistic]

Generation might last longer than expected.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I feel like a king picking up a Series X for $300 a couple of years ago.

 

[GHound]

What a fucking joke.

 

[Trekinspace88]

Fully expect the next 'Xbox' to be at least 1000 dollars.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

$649 for a Series X

 

[Sephimoth]

"Sir, we're not selling consoles. What do?"
"Raise the price even MORE! (and blame Trump)"

 

[Topher]

all of a sudden I don't feel confident about that Xbox Ally X at $899 Topher

I hear ya man. Shit is all over the place these days

 

[dead monkey uk]

The price of the 2TB Series X is something.

 

[OverHeat]

Consoles at those price

 

[bradman]

$649 for a Series X

$400 for a Series S is just as funny.

 

[Aaravos]

And some people think they're gonna launch next gen console next year, if they did it would be way north of $1000

 

[sncvsrtoip]

Next xbox will be 1300$

 

[memoryman3]

$400 for a Series S is just as funny.

The Switch 2 is $450

 

[Insane Metal]

$399 for Series S.

This is fucking madness. Over 600 for a Series X. In 2025. Holy shit.

 

[jm89]

Papa Satya needs his AI fund.

 

[Banjo64]

Wonder if we'll get 'but Drumf' posts ITT or if this has finally gotten so ridiculous that people will just accept that this is nothing but shear corporate greed (as it has been all along).

$800 Series X SKU HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Lol. What's the point? I don't think Most stores even have stock.

I got XS for $600 CDN. Lol

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Worst console generation ever.

 

[Signalis]

Come Monday and Sony also announces another price increase for the PS5 and PS5 Pro also

 

[StreetsofBeige]

And way back you'd get consoles dumped down $100, and last gen google says ps4 was down to $200 on a hot deal.

Now, prices are going up! Lol.

But good for early adopters looking to sell. During COVID and people amped up buying consoles I sold my One X with a second game pad and some cruddy GP kinds of games for $450! Lol…. Ya it includes all these games man. Fallout 4, Mass Effect 3….

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

This kinda makes me glad I got the SX for €400 about two years ago.

 

[Chittagong]

SIX HUNDRED FORTY NINE US DOLLARS

Absolutely fucking mental. Who is even buying these anymore? I am keeping mine around as a Blu-Ray player.

 

[Seiryu21]

They're definitely not worried about selling Xbox consoles anymore.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

The MSRP is approaching scalper pricing. Nadella just needs to kiss more ass in Washington like Tim Apple.

 

[Loomy]

I feel pretty good about where this industry is going. To reach new players, we need to be creative and adaptive of new business models, new devices, new ways of access. We're not going to grow the market with $1,000 consoles.
- Phill Spencer, after PS5 Pro price was announced.

 

[Scrawnton]

There's no way in hell Sony and Microsoft can launch a $650 (minimum) next gen console and keep going business as usual.

I'm not a business expert but I'd be pausing my next gen hardware plans if the goal isn't to make it as cheap and cost effective as possible.

We are in for a spec pause for a decade until the dev tools can be streamlined, game development costs can come down, and the economy and cool down. The industry can't keep going at this pace.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

lol, what?!

Guess they got an estimate on the cost of the next gen custom AMD chips and want to start warming that water.

 

[phant0m]

I 'member when hardware prices went DOWN as the gen aged

Imagine paying SEVEN HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE US DOLLARS for a fucking Series X in 2025

 

[Lagspike_exe]

These prices are insane. SXS is almost PS5 Pro price.

 

[Saber]

 

[Lith808]

Series X was $499 at launch and it's now at $649. That means it's 30% more expensive than what it was 5 years ago with no major changes in hardware.

 

[LordCBH]

Jesus Christ.

 

[LakeOf9]

Bro wtf

 

[jm89]

Doug Bowser:

GIving him confidence for the inevitable switch 2 price increase?

 

[Scrawnton]

Series X was $499 at launch and it's now at $649. That means it's 30% more expensive than what it was 5 years ago with no major changes in hardware.

Quick inflation calculator math says $500 in 2020 is now $625 in 2025.

Holy shit are we done for.

 

[Sethbacca]

Anybody buying an X at these prices is functionally retarded.

 

[viveks86]

These prices are insane. SXS is almost PS5 Pro price.

The 2 TB version is literally $50 more now.

 

[Klayzer]

Best deal in gaming.

 

[Aaravos]

Would love to know the bill of material for these consoles
