| BraLoD said: Series X is $150 more expensive than it was April this year... this is insane. |
Series S and X are both up by a third. $300 to $400 and $500 to $650. Tariffs I believe are 30% for China.
Smartphones and computer parts are exempt from the tariffs, but video game consoles are not exempt.
Sony and Nintendo were able to shift where the consoles are manufactured to countries with a lower tariff. Microsoft could have done the same, but I guess they don't care enough to do so.
