The price increases were also a function of tariffs and junk, too. Just a big double whammy.

I think it was MS last year who started off the price hikes. Then they did another this year.

Nintendo had tariff issues right when the Switch 2 was launching then finally upped prices in the last month or so, and Sony just in the last couple of months had to adjust prices, too.

I don’t really think any of these companies raised console prices before the idiocy of the trump admin and the AI bubble, though. Not that I can recall at least.
