| Hardstuck-Platinum said: The PlayStation division is more profitable now than it ever has been in history. They didn't need to do this, but sadly they could because there wasn't enough competition to stop them from doing so. To me, it feels like a lack of competition price hike rather than a necessary one. Happens in Europe a lot and Sony does it because they know they own Europe practically. |
Just because the division is profitable doesn't mean any company is going to eat $50 out of their hardware margin. That's a significant loss in margin.
Yeah companies were going to "eat" the tariff cost ... just like they ate the inflation cost from COVID ... nope. Average consumers will pay for it like they always do.
