Microsoft’s Xbox consoles got price increases as much as 33% this weekend as the company dealt with a rise in memory chip and SSD prices.

It remains to be seen whether this will send the console demand into a tailspin or if the pending launch of Grand Theft Auto VI in November (on the 19th) will actually boost demand for machines.
