    This depends on the markets. For example, if prices in the US raised 50% due to Tariffs, then they might lose one of their largest markets, but if they can raise them 10% globally, then they can potentially limit that loss and still have a chance (as much as possible anyway) in all of their markets.

    Either way, they need to raise prices because their costs have gone up. It’s a question of where that money is coming from, and how they can reduce its impact on them as much as possible.

      There’s about a zero percent chance that 5 year old console components cost more today than they did 5 years ago.

      Things like that don’t get more expensive, they get cheaper as new tech develops.
