Lets be honest raising prices doesn't do that when no one's buying it. I imagine the profit it greater selling 10 times more at a lower price
LMFAO Your comment alone says a lot more about you than anything else. When has one game not selling 10 million copies made a company raise the prices of their console? Then Xbox would be costing $5000 by now lol. You remind of the crazy drug addicts on the street rambling on about conspiracies. xD You sure you don't need a hug, buddy?
The price increases are due to the RAM demand associated with AI and the US-Iran war. You can look to any business news website and local news to see that. Heck, even the 2026 Asus Zenbook Duo I've been eyeing has faced delays and has had a price increase of $400; that laptop has two specs. Asus is doing a staggered release with per-orders for the lower spec now and shipping in May and pre-orders for the higher spec that I'm eyeing starting in June. Basically, all computer manufactures are affected. It'll most likely start affecting smart phones too if it hasn't already. I can't remember the last time any major console maker (Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc) increased the price of their console mid cycle outside of Microsoft just to make more profit.
The Indie Live Expo Spring 2026 Showcase happened, and the Indie Spotlight segment of the event included plenty of reveals and world premieres.
In an exclusive interview with Game File, new(ish) Xbox boss Asha Sharma and Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty explain their vision for Microsoft’s gaming division
A good start would be to release games to go with the console. My Xbox Series X has gathered dust virtually from launch. My advice would be to ditch a next console and release games on PC, PlayStation and Switch. Another idea would be a hybrid console based on Xbox Series X tech and go the same route as Nintendo. Another idea would be to pull out of gaming altogether. Plenty of options there.
DOA
Literally everything about this newer "Atari" company is sketchy, shady, and weird.
Still don't know what this Stadia 2.0 is suppose to do the price you have to pay just to play 2600 games was the last thing I read. Just seems a waste you're better off doing an av mod and play an actual 2600 or buy a 7200 they are both cheap enough.
Atari remaking ET as an exclusive
The problem for me is that this console serves no purpose. Its a box with old atari games and no new games. I maybe would have bought this out of curiosity but now the Xbox Series X and PS5 has my money. I will not spare or take off another better gaming console off my hdmi port, to plug in this nothing of a console.
The price of this thing is between a Series S, Nintendo Switch, and a PS5 all digital. The VCS is completely DOA. This should have released last year or be delayed another year or two or ummm forever.
