Xbox Warns Console Storage, Memory Prices Will Double by Fall 2027

Summary
Xbox said console storage and memory costs are expected to double again by fall 2027, extending the price pressure behind last week's Xbox Series X and Series S increases.
More than 2.5x cost inflation has already hit those components, with Xbox blaming a broader consumer-electronics component crisis that is weighing especially heavily on consoles.
Project Helix, expected around that same period, could face the same squeeze, though Xbox gaming chief Asha Sharma said the team is working on ways to cut the next console's price.
The warning points to wider industry strain, with current-generation consoles already getting pricier and reports suggesting some next-generation hardware could approach $1,000 in build cost.
