Microsoft Won’t Raise Xbox Live Rates This Year
Earlier in the week industry analyst Michael Pachter stated that he believed Microsoft could raise its Xbox Live rates in the foreseeable future. Apparently, Microsoft was listening because the industry giant’s spokesperson David Dennis responded by saying, “I don't foresee a scenario where we're going to double the price of LIVE anytime in the next couple months."
Great, crisis averted. Microsoft won’t be raising…whoa, wait a minute! “Next couple of months”? Does that mean Microsoft will raise it rates after the beginning of the year? While no one likes to see inflation in action, we hope that if Microsoft does decided to charge more for its Live service that it also blunts the financial blow by rolling out a few new features.
