According to Windows Central journalist and insider Jez Corden, Microsoft is currently losing around $150 for every Xbox Series X|S console sold, even after the latest price increase. I’ve been told Xbox is losing around $150~ per Xbox Series X|S sold right now even after the planned August 2026 price hike.
