This topic got very little traction here. Xbox fanbase did pressure MS for answer including Mexico (currently they manage Brazil), Aaron Greenburg, Phil Spencer and other senior leadership. Only answer from MS came from the first couple days saying that they hadn't increased the price since launch and that they done it to keep delivering the best value in gaming.
There is speculation that this is a way to reduce stop selling the HW so they may discontinue it here and keep only subs without resistance.
Xbox pages, news, people, etc that have voiced their complain were largely refused invitation to the fan fest (which Phil Spencer will participate in the near future).
