Microsoft Distances Itself from ROG Xbox Ally Pricing Strategy, Points to Asus

Microsoft is deflecting criticism over the ROG Xbox Ally’s premium pricing, with Xbox president Sarah Bond stating Asus sets the prices based on their market research. The handheld starts at $600, significantly more than Microsoft’s consoles and the popular $400 Steam Deck. Competing devices like Lenovo’s Legion Go face similar pricing challenges in the growing handheld PC market.

Microsoft Shifts Pricing Responsibility to Asus

Microsoft has distanced itself from criticism surrounding the ROG Xbox Ally’s premium pricing, with Xbox president Sarah Bond stating that Asus determines the cost structure for the newly announced handheld device. According to reports from Variety, Bond described the pricing as entirely Asus’s decision during a recent interview, emphasizing that “their hardware” reflects Asus’s own market research into consumer preferences.

South Korea’s Corporate Governance Overhaul Sparks Market Transformation

South Korea’s stock market has surged to unprecedented levels amid sweeping corporate governance reforms. Regulatory changes are shifting power from dominant families to minority investors, with hundreds of companies already responding to the “value-up” initiative.

Market Performance Reaches Historic Highs

South Korea’s stock market has reportedly achieved record-breaking performance in 2025, with the KOSPI 200 index surging by 69% in local currency terms, according to market analysis. This dramatic upturn significantly outpaces the 15% gain recorded by America’s S&P 500 during the same period. Sources indicate that while artificial-intelligence enthusiasm has benefited major chipmakers like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, the primary driver appears to be a government-backed campaign to improve corporate governance and eliminate the longstanding “Korea discount” on stock valuations.
