While Sony Interactive Entertainment's reputation continues to erode since Jim Ryan took over the company by recently announcing an increase in the PS5, on the competition side, we reassure players, no price increase is not planned, neither at Microsoft nor at Nintendo. Interviewed by Windows Central, the American giant confirmed that its Xbox Series X and Xbox Series X will remain at the same price despite the current situation. "We are constantly evaluating our business to provide our fans with great gaming options. Our recommended retail price for Xbox Series S remains at $299 (£250, €299) and Xbox Series X at $499. $ (£450, €499)". Of course, nothing tells us that this speech can be reassessed if the crisis worsens, but for the moment, no movement on the side of Xbox. Same story at Nintendo, questioned by our colleagues from Eurogamer, who declares that they have not planned a price increase for the Nintendo Switch. Words that refer to those of Mr Furukawa, the President of Nintendo, who advanced during the 82nd meeting of investors that the price of the Switch will not increase despite the economic situation. Sony is therefore alone in this decision.
