Sony might increase PS5 price in US to cover eventual tariff hit
Briefly

Sony forecasts facing JPY 100 billion in tariffs in the next fiscal year, which may lead to increased prices for PS5 consoles as the company contemplates shifting manufacturing to the US. CFO Lin Tao indicated this financial burden would be passed onto consumers, adding weight to earlier price hikes in various markets. Current PS5 shipments reflect an 11% decline year-over-year, totaling 77.7 million units. With ongoing challenges from tariffs, US consumers should brace for forthcoming price increases on gaming consoles, as they’re not exempt from tariff reductions.
