Last month, Sony increased the price of PS5 digital editions in the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, which increased the console from £ 390/€ 430 to 430/€ 500.
Base PS5 and PS5 Pro did not raise prices at the time, but matters may change, as Sony said it would “give” additional costs to his hardware.
“In terms of tariffs, we are not just calculating the easy tariff calculations to come with 100 billion yen, but are currently thinking about the information available, and also looking at the market trend, we can pass the price, and also allocate shipment,” Tao said. “So we are taking various steps to manage the impact of 100 billion yen.”
Tao also said that Soni has three months of capable consoles in the United States, he says, “It is not just China, other countries in which it is being prepared and manufactured. Inventory is that, details change from daily, but (for a) three months’ inventory (for a).”

Sony’s President and Chief Executive Officer Heroki Tuki also said that the company is considering the preparation of “consoles” in the United States to avoid growing tariffs.
“This hardware can be developed locally,” said Tokuki. “I think it would be an effective strategy. But PS5 is being manufactured in many areas. Whether it is manufactured in the United States or not, it needs to be considered. We are not in such an important situation. “
There is no official announcement to increase prices right now, but we will continue to update you. However, the consoles will be the best time to raise your hand at the PS5 or PS5 pro before the consoles are potentially more expensive.
