Xbox says it won't follow PlayStation 5 price hike while 'customers are more economically challenged and uncertain than ever'
, Spencer noted the current economic issues many were facing, and said Xbox didn't think it"was the right move for us at this point" to follow suit.
Would Spencer rule out ever increasing the Xbox Series X/S prices? No, he couldn't - but from his comments today, it sounds unlikely. "Y'know, we're always evaluating our business going forward so I don't think we can ever say on anything that we willdo something," Spencer explained."But when we look at our consoles today... we think value is incredibly important.
The move was widely criticised, especially at a time when many are facing increased economic hardship.
