And it isn’t the 1st time they increased it, also PlayStation.

Microsoft said ram/storage increased prices 2.5x since late 25 and they expect it to increase another 2.5x by late 27.

I keep seeing FLOODS of comments from people saying "at least Sony didn't raise prices1" Well, they did a month or two ago, so I have no idea why they say that. Literally everything with RAM is more expensive now.

Microsoft should tell OpenAI to stop it

  • I’d argue that Nadella has considered spinning off or even selling Xbox considering how it’s been going for them.

    • That doesn’t make sense, they spent billions on a shopping spree of game devs.

      Their game pass business model, which is terrible for consumers once the rug pull happens, is making them a lot of money and market share

    • I suppose it doesn’t really fit into a business that is so focused on enterprise so I wouldn’t be surprised.

      Especially seeing as Windows is becoming less relevant to the typical consumer as well.

    • This would be incredibly foolish. The consumer value of windows has gone off a cliff, and while the Xbox hasn't been competing with the PS5, it's going to be a solid earner for decades. They just need to avoid another game pass catastrophe that destroyed trust with the consumer.

  • Microsoft doesn't care about xbox like they care about copilot.

    Watch any video from Microsoft leaders of the last years. It's all copilot copilot copilot. Not Xbox Xbox Xbox.

    I mean it makes sense because "investors" are all screaming AI, not gaming. But for us it all sucks of course.
