What a difference seven months can make. In the time since Nintendo revealed the Switch 2, Microsoft has increased the price of the Xbox Series X and S consoles not once but twice. An Xbox Series X now costs between $600 and $800. PlayStation 5 has also seen price hikes. Nintendo itself raised the price of the original Switch. Microsoft dipped a toe in the handheld market by collaborating with Asus on an Xbox-branded PC handheld. The base ROG Xbox Ally, with similar tech specs to the Switch 2, costs $600. The Xbox Ally X costs $1,000.
