The Xbox Series S grabs a massive price hike and now costs as much as a PS5 Digital in Brazil, and Microsoft won't explain why (www.windowscentral.com)

This is the best summary I could come up with:

(tldr: 1 sentences skipped)

News initially broke from Brazilian outlet The Enemy, which received a statement from Microsoft indicating that the price of the Xbox Series S was going up, but not the price of the Xbox Series X.

(tldr: 1 sentences skipped)

"In the coming weeks, we will begin to communicate price adjustments for Xbox Series S consoles in Brazil."

"While the console remains an important part of the Xbox ecosystem, we will continue to offer great games, skills and options for gamers in Brazil so they can play how and where they want."

(tldr: 1 sentences skipped)

This price increase is only applying to the white 512GB Xbox Series S, not the 1TB black model.

When we reached out to Microsoft for comment, the company referred us to the The Enemy's article, confirming the price hike.

I'm aware that the economy around the world is troubled and different regions have different specific issues, but this seems like a mistake.

The original article contains 294 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 44%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Maybe the 512gig is exiting production and so it's going up in proce as it gets harder to find
