The pricing feels like a direct response to Microsoft essentially exiting the console market.
- nerdjon 2y agoExcept Microsoft has said they have new Xbox hardware coming. We really need to stop spreading this misinformation (and hyperbole) just because Microsoft is operating a different business model than Sony is. I am not happy about the price either, but this generation has been weird with Microsoft and Sony not dropping their price and increasing prices in some locations. I doubt this has anything to do with Xbox.
- pjmlp 2y agoThat is whishful thinking, even if they release the magical console, it will tank, given their attitude of "You don't need a box to play XBox branded games", while putting their games everywhere there is a GPU. I certainly don't care any longer about it beyond the XBox App on Windows.
- nerdjon 2y agoHow is it "wishful thinking" when they have said they are doing it?
- ukuina 2y agoI want to believe as much as you do. Sarah Bond's exact words were: "And we're also invested in the next generation roadmap. And what we're really focused on there is delivering the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation which makes it better for players and better for creators and the visions that they're building."
