https://www.eurogamer.net/confirmed-xbox-console-prices-are-going-up-worldwide
US:
Xbox Series X will cost $599.99, up a whopping $100.
The 512GB Xbox Series S will meanwhile cost $379.99, up $80.
The 2TB Xbox Series X is now $729.99, up $130, and now more expensive than Sony's $699 PS5 Pro.
Europe:
Xbox Series X will cost £499.99 / €599.99 - an increase of £20 / $50.
The 512GB Xbox Series S will meanwhile cost £299.99 / €349.99 - an increase of £50 / €50.
If you're splashing out on the 2TB Xbox Series X model, that's up £40 or €50 to £589.99 / €699.99.
The prices of some upcoming Xbox games will rise to $80 (UK price TBA) at the end of this year, though existing games will not increase be impacted. Still, expect this fresh pricing to roll out in time for Call of Duty 2025 and whatever else Microsoft has out this Christmas.
The cost of certain controllers - and in the US, also headsets - will see small increases, too. The cost of Xbox Game Pass is staying the same, however.
For now GP is not increasing in price, but no doubt subscriptions will be next.

^ this, made me revisit this thread.
Yeah I think this is it... its not hitting 40m.
And I too think, its only a matter of time before Gamepass goes up another 5-10$ a month.
*edit:
Its all the models, the black 2TB one is now 730$ (for a digital Series X).
Even the SSD they sell went up, the headset (wireless is going to be 120$), the controllers (65$),.... and games going up to 80$ now as well.
This reeks of Nintendo tbh... its like once Nintendo did their thing, everyone is just going to go "okay, we ll follow".
--- Edit 2: .... you can buy a PS5pro (with 2tb) cheaper than that Black 2tb Series X.... that's messed up.
