PlayStation is best of libertien sex videosall alone in raising the priceof its flagship console, at least for now.
Both Nintendoand Microsoftissued separate statements to Eurogamer this week more or less confirming that the Switchand Xbox Seriesconsoles won’t get price hikes like the PlayStation 5just did in all major markets outside the U.S. Sony’s console will cost anywhere from $30 USD to $80 USD more in places like Japan, Canada, the UK, and China.
The two statements took different routes to arrive at that conclusion, though. Microsoft said it was “constantly evaluating [its] business” but stated the Xbox Series S and X will stay at their prices of $300 and $500, respectively. Nintendo, on the other hand, outright confirmed it has “no plans” to increase the trade price of its hardware.” The Nintendo Switch line of consoles starts at $200.
