Sony har valgt at hæve prisen på PlayStation 5-konsollen for at modvirke inflationen og stigende komponentpriser, men det har hverken Nintendo eller Microsoft spejlet. Selvom at Xbox-chef Phil Spencer ikke kan garantere at det ikke vil ske i fremtiden, så vil han heller ikke udelukke det.
I et interview med CNBC fortæller Spencer, at nu "ikke er det rigtige tidspunkt", men at det kunne ske ude i fremtiden:
"We're always evaluating our business going forward. So, I don't think we can ever say on anything that we will never do something. 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."
