After Apple, Microsoft is now taking up the baton. Who is next?

Anyone who sells hardware with RAM

Sony and Nintendo, probably.

I like how “Update” has become corporate PR's favorite weasel word for headlines bearing bad news.

unfortunate, but expected.

Effective August 1, 2026, Xbox console prices are going up worldwide:

512 GB models: +$100 1 TB models: +$150 2 TB models: being sunsetted entirely

>console storage and memory prices have increased by more than 2.5x and we expect another doubling by the fall of 2027

As a millennial I love that every year has a "once in a lifetime" event

Hate how nowhere on that page does it say what the price will be. I guess they don't want the full price in the announcement...
mikestew•34m ago
Go add the announced price increase to whatever price you find on BestBuy.com? I take your point, but I hardly find it onerous to figure out the new price.

I have not seen such pessimistic future prediction from any of major consumer electronics producers yet.
