Microsoft is hiking the price of Xbox Series X and Xbox Game Pass

The Xbox price hike follows warnings prices wouldn’t hold forever.

Oh well, at least they got price parity with PS5 now, possibly the only measurement in which they do. Fyi, does not apply to the US, Japan, and for some reason Brazil, Chile and Colombia.

So they’re hiking the price of hardware. Crazy times we be livin in. Guess my dreams of a cheaper PS5 Slim sometime in the near future can also be considered dashed.

Remember when they actually competed on price? Good times.

It's funny isn't it

Something I always like to bring up in this lawsuit is when Microsoft once said that Sony, and Nintendo are not their competitors, Amazon, and Google are. They thought themselves above a little kid company, and small laughing stock Sony.

Now here they are graveling like babies, because they can't buy their way to market dominance like giant tech companies usually can do. By the way, these are crocodile tears, pathetic pleads to make sure they can get their Monopoly, and run Sony, and Nintendo out of the business.

FUCK THEM!

Their plan wouldn't even work if it went through because they are literally buying the WORST gaming companies on the planet. Next thing they'll go after is EA.

Oh no they are going to buy Call of Duty and Warcraft. Whatever will Sony do now?

Is it irony that they're trying to say "let me pay to win" in the videogame industry.

Isn't that called huffing your own gas or something like that

So this may have been the catalyst for why the purchase happened. If this is true, Activision looks like a complete assholes here, which to be fair, they always are complete assholes.
