Originally, before I made the thread about Xbox Series S prices being cut in Europe, it was cut from $299 to $269-$250 USD conversion in Eastern European retailers first. it then spread to the rest of Europe, and by the time I made that thread it was cut in the US to $289, and still is as of right now even from Microsofts own website.
Now the same pattern near the holiday season is happening again. Eastern European countries are suddenly cutting the Xbox Series X prices by equal to $20-$80.
https://www.dns-shop.ru/product/01a...konsol-microsoft-xbox-series-x--igra-fifa-22/ Was 69,999 now it's 64,999 and may be permanent because there's no crossout of the older price displayed. It also comes with Fifa 22 for free in Russia. The difference in USD is $82.
https://www.pgs.sk/xbox-series-x-p-405292.html price cut from 599 to 569 in South Korea for the console new. Difference in USD is $30.
https://www.electroworld.cz/xbox-series-x-herni-konzola Was 13,999 now is 13,499 and there's no crossout so it may be permanent in Czech. Difference in USD is $20.
https://www-gamers-ro.translate.goo...tr_sl=ro&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Romania went from 2,899 Leis to 2,789 Leis. $25 USD difference.
More proof the spread is likely to happen is the Chinese Microsoft store has recently a few days ago cut the price of Xbox Series possibly permanently from 3,999 Yuan to 3,899 Yuan, and the crossout price was there at first but now has been removed as you can see, showing that it is likely permanent. https://www-microsoftstore-com-cn.t...sl=zh-CN&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc The different in USD is roughly $20 in savings on Microsoft's official Chinese website.
It's not just China too, but South Korea saw a price cut, https://www.expansys.co.kr/xbox-series-x-console-1tb-black-328817/ crossout price was removed too (very interesting) Going from ₩999,999 to ₩937,365 USD difference $45 in savings.
All these discounts are between $20-$50+ in savings just like with the Series S during July through August and Gamescom. The discounts are likely to spread the same way, and while before I wrongfully believed that Microsoft would formally announce the price cuts, they didn't, the price cuts did still happen and as of now still are happening for Series S, and are now starting with Series X.
it may be possible by the holidays Microsoft then may announce a permanent price cut at these prices, or maybe they'll wait until after the holidays like they did with the Xbox One price cuts during this same time launch aligned.
I predict that within the next month or just in time for the November holiday season, you will be able to get the Xbox Series X for $20-$50 cheaper or more across most countries it's sold just like the Series S now.
In this case, it would be a subtle jab at Sony, who raised their prices between $20-$50 and possibly more based on currency exchange, worldwide a couple weeks ago. A $550 PS5 next to a $450 or $480 Xbox Series X brings to question value proposition, especially since the power difference is in Xbox Series X's favor, and the size. At he same time, if people still think that's too much to spend, there's the discounted Series S, which has already reduced in price by $20-$50 and was already $200 less.
Now, so far, these indications have been accurate, the only mistake was assuming Microsoft would formally announce the price cut early for Series S in the last thread, but the price cut did happen and did spread for Series S. So I expect the same for the X. Now IF they do announce the price cuts, which will likely be permanent based on some of these links, it will likely be at or after the holiday rush, I am leaning toward after, feel free to give your thoughts.
Unlike the Series S, the crossout prices are not there or are being removed, not a single Series S retailer that cut the price removed the crossouts. This is making me believe that Microsoft is more likely to make the X prices permanent, and it may spread and apply to Series S as well, for why permanently reduce the price of one and not the other?
In the meantime, the next step is to see if the price drops spread across more European countries, if so than it will be an exact repeat of what happened with the Series S. The X will be discounted across more Euro and Asian countries, possibly even Mexico, and then we will see discounts in the US.
