Sony announced that its PlayStation 5 will face a price increase in the US this week. The company is the latest console maker to raise its prices amid Trump’s global trade war.

Don’t worry guys, Republicans assure us that “other countries” pay the tax you’re definitely paying so, we’re all good. Next up: totally accurate jobs & census reports

It has nothing to do with the trade war. The PS5 was designed in 2019 and released in 2020. Since then the cost of the SoCs in that system have halved at least twice. At $499 Sony was making at least 100% profit on every PS5 they sold. At $549 it's just greedy and gross.

Already the gaming industry was getting more expensive. Trump has rolled out new tariffs on steel and aluminum contents, and %100 tariffs on semiconductors are yet to be announced. Things are only going to get more expensive by winter.
