Posting them everywhere else in the world wasn't enough to stiffle the tariff increases.

This keeps up I might just not buy ANY consoles for the next decade.
Thank you for taking the time to read this sig.
This sig loves you.
When they raised prices in the Spring in a bunch of other markets except the U.S. everyone knew this was coming. But people will still complain a lot, even though they go out of their way to tell you how much they arent interested in ps5 and wont be buying one.

Why would Nintendo make them do this?

It's almost like bad tariffs are a tax on consumer goods or something

Almost like 50% doesn't understand how businesses work.

Which is funny, cause they voted for a multi-time failed businessman

People upset that tariffs are raising prices on things? How weird, right?

Screw stimulus checks. Gimme my government-issued Playstation!
See you next Wednesday.
Trump told you that he was going to implement tariffs throughout his campaign and people warned you that prices would increase.

Yet people still voted for him and act surprised when he does exactly what he promised to do.

I got a PS5pro to get ahead of any price increases, when I sell my old PS5 I can get a couple extra bucks due to the increase as well.

I mean, I did a few months ago. Knew the tariffs were going to impact it eventually, so I started selling stuff on Ebay to afford one.

Yeah, this was coming. Sony didn't do it right away because they imported a bunch of stock before the tariffs went into effect, but they were going to sell through that stockpile eventually.

I bought a PS5 Pro after getting a brand new TV when Death Stranding 2 came out. Glad I did when I did I guess. >_>

Was a bit of a dumb purchase but given the improvements in GT7 on VR it was well worth it to me.
Up to no good searching for tomorrow

Yet leakers still believe that the ps6 will be $499 for some reason

cuz they want it to be true but they know in their hearts with the current shitshow going on that won't happen and will be priced at 600 or more due to inflation and tariffs

Trump forced Nvidia into a deal to take a percent of sales to let them sell their tech to China.

This seems unprecedented. If you thought their GPUs were expensive now, I can definitely see costs going up to cover their loss to the government.

Looks like AMD is giving a percent to Trump as well in order to sell to China.

Just wait for the PS6

This Gen is just a bunch of PS4 remasters

For me, Steam won the console wars. They eventually get everything worth playing anyway and they also eventually discount games. Even if you have to pay full price sometimes, you end up saving so much on other stuff with the deals

This thinking was what spearheaded all of my purchasing decisions of the last year.

They targeted Gamers.

I fully expect $699+( maybe $799) with current component pricing.

And it better have a disk drive.

I'm not playing the " we randomly decided to shut down your game now you can never play it even if you have a genuine download" BS like they did with Crew 2.

MS raises prices - Fucking M$...Greedy fuckers!!
Sony raises prices - Fucking tariffs forcing this!!

Never change CE.
This is Nintendo's fault somehow.

Probably not, but I wanted to juxtapose Trump's war on immigration with tariff increases.

Trump and this administration is definitely at some large fault here. But also consider how these corporations have been behaving since the pandemic. They've seen that consumers have and will roll over and take it when push comes to shove. They'll find any MacGuffin to point their fingers at to absolve themselves of any culpability and the American people eat it up. No one is there to regulate them. So they will continue to extract more out of us until we're bone dry.

This will not end until someone steps in and makes it end.

Don't think that's the case this time. If it were, we would have seen price increases far sooner than we did. These console providers know they are at the upper limit of what they can get away with charging for their consoles, and are trying to balance their margins against deincentivizing customers. I'm actually surprised they held out this long in America.
