Ariel Souza, co-founder of the website Combo Infinito, posted today on his account on X (Ex-Twitter), that the Microsoft asked for the console units back Xbox Series X e Xbox Series S sent at the beginning of the generation. As happens in countless cases, some vehicles receive the product, in advance or not, via the press office, which coordinates this action together with the company responsible for that launch.
Ariel says in his post that this situation is occurring not only with him, who represents the Infinite Combo, but also with other vehicles. The journalist also explains that “From the beginning, the contract sent with the consoles talked about the loan for an indefinite period”.

A lot of people are asking me to talk about the information that Xbox Brazil would be asking for the Series X and S consoles sent at the beginning of the generation back.
Yes, this is happening.
From the beginning, the contract sent with the consoles talked about loan for time…

This issue of contracts is another part that happens between content outlets/creators and companies. Some contracts involve product donations, others refer to loans. When sending is done in advance, before launch, there is also the term NDA, which is a commitment from that vehicle not to publish any information outside of what was previously agreed before the embargo lifted. That is, the product launch date, or the deadline estimated by the company.
It is also common for products provided by loan to need to be sent back to the advisor in a short period of time, as that same unit ends up being shared between all the vehicles that will provide coverage.
Ariel says its coverage of Xbox games will remain across PC. In response to your post, a user asked the following question: were the consoles ordered after you addressed the Series S price increase? The journalist said that “we addressed the increase throughout the week and the refund request was made this morning”.
Regarding the new price of the Xbox Series S, Microsoft reiterated, in a note sent to Hardware.com.br, The price of R$3,599 is correct. The official Xbox Series S website will be updated with the new price over the next few days.
Jez Corden, editor-in-chief of Windows Central, published on your X account that the decision to increase the price of the Xbox Series S was not a LATAM decision, that is, the Latin America division, it is an “order from above”.
