Personally I like the move, the less Xboxes they sell the better.
Microsoft is hiking the price of Xbox Series X and Xbox Game Pass

Well, its not like they lied.
Only a matter of time before the US is hit as well. There is less inflation here than almost any other market but its still here and still higher than desired.

"On the other hand, many gamers have been wondering whether Microsoft would increase the subscription pricing if games like Call of Duty and Diablo were added. That idea seemed to be reinforced by the recent decision to discontinue the long-standing $1 promotion for new customers.
However, on page 25 of the memorandum defense against the FTC's motion for a preliminary injunction to block the Activision Blizzard merger, Microsoft lawyers have clearly specified that no price increase is planned based on the acquisition."
Not planned based on the acquisition but planned based on X excuse (in this case, the easy PR line being inflation). It's the fine print - always.

I mean this has been coming for some time. There'll be another one soon enough too.
They're desperate to get the PC crowd on-side but I don't see it happening to any significant extent. Not when PC games can be bought so cheaply on third-party sites. Plus everyone prefers Steam anyway.

Paying a subscription to play games on PC sounds terrible. PC has free online and plenty of options to get cheap games.
Let me guess...
Some months ago Uncle Philnocchio said they won't increase price because they think about their consumers.
Now they increase the price?
I understood now... their consumers become rich in the last few months
That explain it.

GamePass is so good that even if MS just filled my credit card and emptied whatever is left in my bank account it would still be a great deal (I would rather get Ultimate at this price... but still).
P.S.: Phil come sign my ass now, please.
He was able to "definitely say" that they have "no plans today" to raise the price of their consoles.Let me guess...

They started planning the next day probably, even then, he was allowed to definitely say it, doesn't mean it's true... Like anything he says.
I think they should have released a 2TB console and discontinued the 1TB one for a stealth price increase (SSDs are very cheap these days).

Sony raise price of Playstation:
Media scrutinise them, the public can't buy enough of them
Microsoft raise price of Xbox:
Media defend them, public don't want them
Maybe the gaming media aren't a true reflection of the customer base?
