    Shocks feels a bit sensational, I mean everything has gotten more expensive, and this seems fairly in line.

      I am shocked.

      I thought I did well selling a 5 year old Xbox for a little over what I paid for it ... should have held on to it for longer to let it appreciate more. By 2030 it will be worth $1,000

      It would be shocking if the price increase wouldn't be that large.

      Thanks to the AI rollout for creating worldwide inflation

    It’s almost if Microsoft had advocated for citizen infrastructure for artificial intelligence, they could have avoided price gouging at the hardware supply chain layer with their younger, more nimble competition, instead they accidentally cannibalized their video game console market, which is their primary driver for future developers, by giving them a vision and a reason to dream about wanting to learn how to make something beautiful to share with the world.

    Xbox might die, but gamers will live on.

    There’s no gaming industry left for them to press into positive PR.

    Yikes.
