For those wondering why now...

PS5 had 3 month's of stockpiled units back on May 14.

Now 3 months have passed, the stockpile is running low, they need to ship more, thus increasing the price.

random, but I’m curious how this’ll influence quarterly shipment figures? For instance, should we expect Q1F26 to have been a tad bit inflated and Q2F26 to be very deflated? (Though PS5 didn’t even have a particularly large Q1 this fiscal year…it was pretty much the same as always.)
