But they did so already last year or early this year, so if that would have been the reason, they would have needed to make the announcement earlier, not now.

They're talking about raising the prices more.

There's probably some pressure in Sony from Sony Group. They've been raising hardware prices in different segments.

If anything, this puts some pressure on AMD, the chip designer, as they're the ones dealing with TSMC, not Sony. But I agree that it's possible AMD will pass the higher costs down to Sony.

Still, that would only be ~$10 per chip, and only starting sometime next year. Raising the prices now is not related to increased chip prices, as TSMC last raised the prices in summer last year.
