Shut the fu** up, Carl Fredricksen, stop trying to be THE news, your work is to share data, not try to generate data, moron!

MS went all the way with the increase, so I can see Sony doing a small bump and Nintendo a hefty one next year.

From what I've been able to find surfing Google:
In any case, we voted for this.
- Sony is sending the US consoles that are made in Japan or Malaysia to avoid most of the tariffs on Chinese manufactured goods. Their accessories are still produced in China.
- The tariff rate on Japan is now 15%, which didn't exist on electronics goods previously.
- If you just take the previous retail prices and multiply by the tariff rate, they're still probably worse off after the price increase.
In any case, we voted for this.

Especially when it comes to prices.

... What?
Piscatella is an analyst. Part of his job is to make predictions about the future of the industry. That doesn't mean he's going to be right all of the time, or even most of the time (see: Patcher, Michael), but this is very much within the scope of his work.

well i mean, if you are buying a PS5, you are also buying an Xbax too. The price must reflect the value.

Can't wait to get the GamePass added value on PS5. What kind of shit is this?well i mean, if you are buying a PS5, you are also buying an Xbax too. The price must reflect the value.
Worst gen for 1st party games but cheering profits and justifying price increases. If Steam brings a console out I'm off to the master race

Interesting to note that retailers still ( as of now) haven't raised their prices. Slim digital is $449 and Pro $699 on Amazon, for example.
what do you expect he ran away to Blue Sky like the rest of them.

An analyst job is to try to preview things given current data and analysis, that is absolutely fair, the focus is on the analysis and the data - not the analyst him/herself. GIven this MF cannow show data, we simply cannot discuss the analysis... so, he post it like he IS the news to generate flame war, that generaltes clicks... and that moves the internet. I'm personally tired of this kind of stuff, because it generates empty discussions.

Gradually increase the cost of PS5 hope no one notices then release PS6 as a more expensive new console at 1k "look its only 200 more than ps5 pro".

Whenever I feel any kind of self doubt, I remember that Michael Pachter exists. Then I remember how rich he probably is, and I feel normal again.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
From what I've heard the companies might be diluting the cost across the whole operation. So countries that aren't doing the tariffs might still get an increase to level off the entire endeavour... It's confusing..But the price will only go up in the US right, because of the tariffs?
Sony:
It's not confusing. They're chasing profits and they have plenty of excuses to do it. So they will do it.
