Wouldn't most parts come in from China and hence get slapped with tariffs? Sony afaik still has some assembly lines in Japan they could expand to atleast lessen tariff impact on a part of their US bound consoles.

Not really, you can always use a proxy in the middle.

Or you can use the plants of Sony and MS in Brazil.

Brazil afaik slapped a 75% import tariff on electronics (or atleast some of them) coming into the country and I'm pretty sure the rest of the world returned the favor and imposed tariffs on those same categories of goods from Brazil. So, I'm not sure sending over consoles assembled in Brazil is cheaper.
