Sony could raise the price of the PlayStation 5 in the United States once more if the tariff situation isn't brought under control, one analyst predicts.
Well there hasn’t really been any good games for it. I suspect it’ll be like that until GTA comes out next year. Everyone was holding off in releasing until after that as they think I’ll cost $90 and that’ll open the flood gates
…and so it fucking should; the more pain average Americans feel, the better - honestly.
We are less than 8 months into this administration, and they are already doing their damnedest to rat-fuck the elections in an effort to fully seize power for at least a generation and remake the nation in their own twisted vision.
The last chance left to stop this takeover is the 2026 midterms, and the GOP are already pulling out all of the stops to stop that from happening:
Gerrymandering the absolute shit out of Texas
Closing polling booths in locations likely to vote against the GOP
Imposing voter identification laws to further disenfranchise ‘undesirables’
Rail against mail-in ballots to further suppress turnout
Hopefully the dam breaks and inflation well and truly begins to run away - so that the majority of the population feel the impact of this President’s policies to their wallets, and vote out his lapdogs and lackeys.
If not, then the nation and its people are truly lost and more expensive consoles are going to be the least of your worries.
He’s not a dictator (yet), if the republicans face a lot of backlash for this they might feel the need to rain him in a bit, give him some Xanax and a fidget spinner or something.
Not just tariffs, but Trump is trying his damnedest to add more inflationary pressure to the economy by firing the people who are keeping interest rates high, counteracting the tariffs.

PS5 is dogshit. I haven’t turned mine on since October.
Got astrobot for my son and GoW for myself.
Other than that it was useless and both of those are not enough to stay. Finally committed to building a linux gaming setup.

Back in my day, console prices went down as they aged. This is the first time I’ve been thrilled to get one early, but sad because this sucks…

Midterms will be cancelled
It’s cute that people still think voting will help.

I’ll do this analyst’s job for half the pay
