Is it? I don't think so. That equates to a difference of an extra $4-6 USD depending on the SKU. I can even imagine the mentality of a person who would be dissuaded form a purchase based on such a minuscule difference in price, let-alone it occurring on a mass scale. Here's a better example of a price hike from my own country, Canada, where we reward courage.
When the PS4 launched here in 2013, it's price was at parity with the US. As were almost all prices for all items for some years. However, thanks to an ongoing, and impossible to ignore devaluation of the Canadian dollar, a mere 2 months after launch, the price went up by $50. With tax, in my province, the difference was aprox $57. Although I highly doubt there was much impact on PS4 sales here, I cannot back that idea up. However: I highly doubt there was much impact on PS4 sales.
$4-6though? Bah!

if the drop in sales this year aren't enough evidence for you to show that their is an effect, the last tax increase(april 2014 I believe) saw the same thing that is happening now

It's not enough evidence. I can't buy a f***ing Happy Meal for $4. It's not like it's a one-off scenario, where next week/month/whatever, things go back to the way they were. It's the new norm. You can't hide under some coats and wait it out.
