Xbox Could Still Lose Money On Series X|S Console Sales Despite Price Hike, Sources

And what does this mean for Project Helix?Xbox's planned price increase for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles will come into effect on Saturday, August 1st, but it appears Microsoft could still end up selling its hardware at a loss.As seems to be the norm everywhere right now, rising manufacturing costs caused by the ongoing component shortage crisis are the focus of blame here.

'We Must Do Better To Support You' - Xbox Exec Apologises For Xbox Server Outage

"This is an unacceptable situation".Xbox Chief Technology Officer Scott Van Vliet took to social media last night to apologise for the widespread outage that left some players unable to sign in, view game libraries, or, in the worst cases, launch either digital titles or physical disc-based games on Xbox.The server crash began in the early hours of July 28 and lasted for roughly 20 hours.

Poll: So, What Do You Think Of Halo: Campaign Evolved?

Is this your first Halo game?Halo: Campaign Evolved is finally out in the wild, and I can't get enough of it.

This is the most fun I've had with a Halo campaign in quite some time, and it'll keep me satisfied until Gears: E-Day arrives later this year.Read the full article on purexbox.com
