Ayer durante una entrevista para el medio WSJ Tech Live, el CEO de Xbox, Phil Spencer, sugirió que algunos de los productos de Xbox podrían subir de precio.
“I think at some point we’ll have to raise the prices on certain things,” Spencer said (via journalist Tom Warren), “but going into the holiday we thought it was important to maintain the prices.”
He added: “We’ve held price on our console, we’ve held price on games… and our subscription. I don’t think we’ll be able to do that forever. I do think at some point we’ll have to raise some prices on certain things…”
Esto ocurre tras asegurar el mes pasado que no era el momento de subir el precio de las consolas:
“But when we look at our consoles today, and you talked about it—Series X and Series S—we think value is incredibly important. We love the position of Series S in the market, which is our lower cost console. Over half of our new players that we’re finding are coming in through Series S.
“And I can definitely say we have no plans today to raise the price of our consoles,” Spencer continued. “We think in a time when our customers are more economically challenged and uncertain than ever, we don’t think it’s the right move for us at this point to be raising prices on our console.”
Veremos que es lo que sube exactamente. Pero todo parece indicar que Gamepass acabará subiendo de precio en no demasiado tiempo. Quizás acompañado de no permitir ciertas triquiñuelas para abaratar Gamepass que hacemos muchos y aquí yo me incluyo.
