Trump's tariffs on goods made outside the US are affecting a lot of tech and gaming companies, which mostly manufacture in Asia, and it looks like Sony has taken a much bigger hit than Nintendo. What's more, the PlayStation company's plan to "minimize the impact on our business and earnings" has gamers worried the price of the PS5 and PS5 Pro could go up.

According to Dr. Serkan Toto, CEO of Japan game industry consultancy Kantan Games, Nintendo's stock is down 7.35% and Sony's is down 10.6%. Publishers 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bandai Namco, Konami, Sega, Capcom, Square Enix, and Koei Tecmo are also all down tod💫ay. He notes that "mobile game companies🐽 do even worse."

in February that it has been "working to duplicate our supply chains and increase their flexibility," as well as "stockpiling a certain level of strategic inventory in the US." This likely means the company shipped a large number of cons෴oles and accessories to the States before the tariffs came into effect, but once that stock is gone, we could expect prices to rise, as even if it does fully manufacture in tꦦhe US, that will be more costly than building the consoles in Asia.

Sony stated: "We intend to continue to respond flexibly and promptly to changing 😼circumstances and implement at the appropriate time additional measures that we are preparing in o𒊎rder to minimize the impact on our business and earnings."

This last line has led people to believe that Sony could be willing to increase prices to offset any increased costs, and those price hikes will be paid for by us, the onesꦚ buying the systems.

"It is extremely important to note that they are prioritizing their business and their earnings, which means US consumers will be ꧅paying the additional price created by the tariffs," one Twitter user. "Sony is not the only company that will do this. They all will. GGs"

"The customer will always end up be🐠ing [on] the losing end," .

Nintendo likely faced a lower stock price drop because Japan already accounts for 24% of Switch sales, a trend that will probably continue with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch 2 and its cheaper Japan-only model. But, that doesn't help everyone in the US who will be paying 50% more for the Switch 2 than they 𝐆did for the original Switch, 💃an increase which almost perfectly matches the tariffs imposed on Vietnam and Cambodia where the console is made.
