PS5 assembly in America isn't happening; the infrastructure just doesn't exist for it, and by the time you built it, the current administration wouldn't even be in power any more.

Tariffs aren't going to make companies pack it up and move everything to the US, they'll just pass the cost on to consumers like Sony is doing here.

I edited and added to my post but I will add it here too.

Except nvidia, apple, tmsc, j&j, merck have all claimed to be spending billions to bring jobs back.......  so...  I'm curious to see if it happens.  If those companies follow through and invest billions....  a bit more for a ps5 is MORE than worth.  

But we shall see who actually delivers against their promise.

I hate trump as much as the next guy, but on paper some big investments from some of the world's biggest companies are coming are way.....  

Companies will promise anything if they think it benefits them, like when they all promised to "go green" years ago but in fact just found ways to cheaply fake it.

They know the tariffs won't be permanent, they're not going to uproot their entire supply chain and rebuild it all again in a country where they have to pay workers like x5 as much.

Companies will always choose the path of most profit, and right now that is to raise their prices and wait it out.
