Microsoft Announces Xbox Console Price Hike, Xbox Games to Cost $80

As with COVID, companies are gonna use the excuse to raise prices everywhere.<p>The games aren’t shipped over from China. They aren’t imports. And yet…

Xbox already isn&#x27;t selling well compared to the competition. I imagine this will not help.

I don’t think gamers are as price sensitive as believed.<p>How many people purchased computers that cost in the same realm as a mortgage payment? I personally know a several people who paid &gt;$1500 for a GPU during COVID.<p>The price hike sucks but I doubt it will convince people to transition to a different hobby.

I get the anger, but I also remember paying $60 for a Nintendo 64 game in 1997.

This seems.. unwise if one where to consider the panem and circensis paradigma. Messing with this gets you carried away, out of office on shoulders..

Surely the tariffs won&#x27;t impact digital game prices?

Never pay more than 20 bucks [1] for a computer game.<p>[1] as of 1990. $48.94 adjusted for inflation.
