It is crazy that a game console that is almost a decade old, its price has increased, and after launching its successor.
So it’s 3 out of 3, huh? Microsoft increased the prices of the Xbox series, Sony increased the price of Playstation 5. Well, at least PS5 prices were not hikes like other console in the US. I think it pays to be a patient to be a gamer, wait and buy the game, when they become cheap, the console. This argument does not apply anymore. It is sad that it has come on it.
What do you think about price growth?
