Russian prices for gaming consoles continue to grow

During an unstable economy, when the exchange rates are sent to free swimming, video game lovers have a hard time, as the price tag for gaming systems is constantly growing due to the weakening of the ruble. Microsoft Corporation introduced the line of autumn sets of its Xbox One console, which can be purchased during the holidays. At the same time, new prices for these kits were also identified. And the prices, it should be noted, can slightly frighten the unprepared reader.

So, the first set consists of an Xbox One console with a 1 TB hard drive, and in the box you will find two codes for downloading digital copies of the games Rise of the Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider (2013). As a bonus, you will receive a package of additional content Tactical Survival Kit for the first game. And the price tag for all this "wealth" is 37,999 rubles. There is also a console option with other games included, for example with Rare Replay, which I recently told you about, as well as with the smart Ori-the-Blind Forest metering platform. The price remains the same.

If you are not critical to having a 1 TB hard drive, you can take a console with a 500 GB screw and the LEGO Movie Videogame in the kit. Such a kit costs 32,999 rubles. And if you decide to purchase a prefix bundled with a Kinect 2.0 sensor and three games adapted for it (Dance Central Spotlight, Kinect Sports Rival and Zoo Tycoon), then be ready to give 42 999 rubles for this bandl. Impressive prices, is not it? And the most unpleasant thing in this whole situation is that further things can become even more terrible.

It seems that on New Year's holidays only children from the richest families will receive a game console as a gift, since such price tags in no way contribute to the increase in demand. In the camp of Microsoft's main rival to the Japanese company Sony, the situation is not much better. The PlayStation 4 console with a 1 TB hard drive in large retail chains costs 31,999 rubles, and with a 500 GB screw, 29,999 rubles. Unshakable are except that the prices for consoles of the company Nintendo. In the official online store now you can buy a console Nintendo Wii U at a price of 13,999 rubles. If to reflect, then, in comparison with competitors, Nintendo has appeared in the most favorable position.

Microsoft, however, is not discouraged. She announced a fairly strong lineup of games for the fall period, which includes Halo 5 Guardians (I'll try to tell you about this game already this month), Rise of the Tomb Raider and already released Gears of War Ultimate Edition and Forza Motorsport 6. Sony its main release of the autumn Uncharted 4 moved to the spring of 2016 to polish it properly. So the Japanese company can count only on multiplatform projects during the New Year holidays.

Of course, you can be puzzled and find stores that have not yet sold the previous batch of consoles purchased at old prices. But this is not so simple as it seems, especially for residents of large cities, where the goods do not stay on the shelves for a very long time. Well, let's hope that our economy still stabilizes and sooner or later will return to its own places.
