Uh, you don't raise the price of a game system half way through its life... you cut it to increase adoption! Come on Microsoft, you've been in this industry for over twenty years.

They're not the only ones doing it. The components became more expensive, which hasn't really happened over the last 20 years. And from what Digital Foundry says, the Series X may be more expensive to produce than the PS5.
