Foreign media Tweaktown issued a forecast that Xbox's recent series of measures may help it achieve record revenue in the first quarter of the next fiscal year (July-September 2023).
In terms of software, Xbox raised the price of first-party next-gen games to $70, with Red Sky Island being the first and Starfield a close second. In addition, Xbox has also raised the price of XGP by $1-2, and if the existing 25 million subscribers continue to subscribe, this price increase will generate additional revenue of $25-50 million, considering that "Starfield" first joined XGP in September, this number is likely to only increase.
In terms of hardware, Xbox will launch a new model XSS with a 1TB SSD, while ensuring the supply of XSX in preparation for the release of Starfield. At the same time, Xbox has also increased the price of consoles in some countries, which is also conducive to increased profits.
