Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 29, Microsoft said in a statement to Brazilian website The Enemy that Xbox Series S's proposed price in Brazil was raised to 3599 reais (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 5250 yuan), but Xbox Series X was not mentioned, so it should remain the same as in recent months.
"at Xbox, we remain committed to providing the best game experience at all prices so that players can choose the game that best suits their game needs and budget," the statement said. "in the next few weeks, we will begin to communicate about the price adjustment of Xbox Series S consoles in Brazil."
"the suggested retail price of Xbox Series S's basic SKU will be updated at Brazilian retailers that sell Xbox Series S consoles," the article said. "We have maintained the mainframe price for many years and have now adjusted the price to 3599 reais."
It is understood that this price adjustment is only applicable to the 512GB version, and the adjustment of the 1TB version has not been confirmed. Before the price increase, the price of the Xbox Series S was between 2000 and 2500 reais (currently about 3647 yuan). After the price increase, the price of the game console has been comparable to that of the PS5 digital version.
