Increasing value is not the economic situation, but the greed of Microsoft to profit, says Mike Ibarr.
Mike Ibarra criticized Microsoft for rising prices on Xbox / Photo – MicrosoftFormer Blizzard President Mike Ibarra walked through Microsoft because of a new rise in Xbox, second in just 5 months. According to him, Trump tariffs and a real reason for management problems can no longer be covered.
Microsoft has recently confirmed that Xbox Series X with SSD at 2 TB in the US is now worth $ 800. For comparison, at the beginning of the year the price was $ 600. The first jump was explained by the new US tariffs that hit the importers of technology.
But Ibarra believes that then it was justified only once, but re -promotion – a completely different story, he wrote in X:
“The tariffs have increased once, it explains the only increase. But to use it as a reason again, when tariffs have not changed anymore – just a way to force players to pay for other people’s problems. Increasing prices on the console is not tariffs, it is a matter of profit.”
Xbox is experiencing difficult times. Since the beginning of 2024, the company conducted 4 waves of mass dismissals, reducing thousands of employees. The latest abbreviations in July led to the closure of Perfect Dark Remake and the cancellation of Everwild from Rare.
Earlier, we said that the publisher GTA 6 wanted to resurrect the abolished Xbox game, but the agreement broke. According to Jason Schreyer, the parties did not agree on the long -term rights to own the Perfect Dark brand.
