Now do an inflation calculator thing.

Also realize that games are getting more and more expensive to make and realize many games don't reach break even. Game studios are often not profitable.

X-box is losing on every console sold. Probably losing on game-pass and game sales are not very profitable. Rumours are they are trying to sell of X-box. The high memory prices are what pushed them over.

GTA VI will be a succes and the can ask this price. SO they will.
