You could get A Better If you've been waiting to buy a new console for several years, the price. That time is over, and I think the console manufacturer will regret their collective decisions that they will finish them.
Xbox joins PlayStation and Nintendo to squeeze consumers
This week's game business' Christopher Dring has reported that Xbox is raising the world's prices. In the United States (hiking most steep), Xbox Series X Price increases from $ 499 to $ 599 and Series S from $ 349 to $ 429. The price of the Xbox game is also rising. Goodbye to the new top of this generation of $ 70 and say hello to $ 80, the next generation of the next generation. Hopefully, we can stick to this for more than five years before another price increase.
When we recently remembered that we recently paid $ 60 for all new triple-a games 2020It actually put things in perspective.
As Dring pointed out, Xbox is joining other members of Big Three. Nintendo and PlayStation have also recently raised prices. To some extent this can be understood. President Trump's tariff policy is particularly scrambled by a console manufacturer for China, where many game parts are manufactured. If the tariff could not be stopped, some somehow have to offset the increased costs, and all three people decided to deliver the burden to the customer.
Gamers may not need a console.
This is a short -term solution, but it will cause long -term problems in the industry. The console was always popular because it was always a relatively inexpensive and easy way to enter the game. Well, the current console has given up on cheaper and the PC has become very easy to use. Using Steam Deck, ROG ALLY and other handheld game PCs, it was simpler or cheaper to find a starter PC.
As mentioned earlier, the PC is actually cheaper than the console game. The initial price of the game PC is still more expensive if you want to build a new Triple-A game with the power of the PS5 Pro. But once you have one, it's very cheap to fill it with a game.
STEAM is always selling a steep game. When I write this, the Dark Souls franchise is a huge discount as all games are sold with a 50 % discount. GOG offers similar low prices, and EPIC Games Store has hundreds of free games in six years after its launch.
I wrote about everything before, so I don't want to change the point. However, if you can overcome the initial bumps of PC purchases, you can access the most diverse triple A and indie games at the lowest price.
Less and more free game
And it assumes you are paying your game at all. If you are in Fortnite, Apex Legends, Pubg or Roblox, you can spend hundreds of hours in all games without spending a dime. It can also be played on your phone, and the phone can be clearly expensive, but you can already use it for everyday purposes.

You can get angry about the price and still pre -order switch 2.
I was angry, but I'm so excited. Sometimes two can be true.
The game is not competing with other games, but competes with other apps that offer free Tiktok and YouTube and endless content. Switch 2 is selling well, but it is a console that promises a lot of monopoly. Not everyone can run away, and it is not clear that Xbox can do when the Xbox puts water into muddy with a monopoly policy applied by chance.
I don't think the console game will go anytime, anywhere. But raising the price of everything at once will not love the players greatly. And you won't let you buy more games.

2025 did not need GTA 6 anyway.
