    Well they raised the price of Starfield to $70 USD, so it will automatically get $10 more per copy that people buy than before. On the flipside, people like me arent going to pay $70 for a video game. But normies don’t really care about something like that, they just want to buy product, consume product, then buy next product.

      Games have been $90CAD for a long time where I am so the price here is no different. I’ll be getting it via gamepass though.

      Xbox doesn’t care much about selling copies of Starfield. They want to sell Game Pass subscriptions, and they want Starfield to drive those sales.

      I wonder if these forecasts for the Xbox division include merchandise as well. I could see that area as a big boost - the type they expected from Redfall (w/ a special Design Lab controller operations, etc.) - and Starfield is also going strong with the limited controller and headset.
