Dow Jones01:59
1358 ET - Microsoft's announcement of price increases for Xbox consoles falls on an important day for gamers: the beginning of pre-orders for the long-awaited "Grand Theft Auto VI." The game, which has been in development by Take-Two Interactive Software for years, is expected to be the highest-profile entry in the GTA series to date. Microsoft's price hikes, which take effect in August, could incentivize gamers to buy consoles sooner in advance of the game's debut in November. (elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
