X has enough demand to sell in-spite of a price hike, but S frankly needs a price cut to sell, if they had raised the price for S they would have killed all demand for it pretty much. Not a fan of the Gamepass price hike though, even if it is only $1 per month higher than before. Reminds me of how Netflix has managed to creep their price for the standard sub up from $8 a month in 2010 to $15.49 per month in 2023, by doing it in small $1 or $2 increments each time. |
I hope it does not come to this. For now, it is still way under the inflation from its 2017 introductory price. So it was unavoidable for Gamepass to raise its price eventually if only to match inflation. The only thing that was holding it back was the focus on growth but I guess the great reception of last week's show gave them enough confidence to go ahead with the adjustment.
From now on, fingers crossed MS does not get too greedy and keeps solely matching inflation every 4-5 years or so.
