PlayStation 6 Price Starts to Scare
Although it has not yet been officially introduced, the PlayStation 6 is already on the agenda with its price. Both technological developments and external factors show that the new-generation console will not be cheap. In particular, the customs tariffs from the Trump era, which have resurfaced in the US, may increase the cost of imported electronic products. This situation creates the possibility that the price of the PS6 will exceed the expected.
Why is the PlayStation 6 Price a Concern?
According to news in some media outlets recently, the PlayStation 6 will stand out with its hardware power and new features. However, this level of development may also seriously affect the price. While gamers express their concerns about the price on social media, some comments say that the console may exceed the $700-800 band. In fact, the customs tariffs from Trump’s previous presidency, which are on the agenda to be re-implemented, may also trigger this price increase.
Experts say that the high tax rates to be applied to imported products will directly affect Japanese companies like Sony. If these tariffs go into effect, the PlayStation 6 may be more expensive than expected in many markets, especially the US. In particular, production costs and logistics expenses will be directly reflected in the retail price of the device.
This situation may not be limited to America. The price increase in the US market may also be indirectly reflected in Europe and other major markets. In countries with high exchange rates like Turkey, this increase may be felt much more strongly. Gamers say that it will be difficult to even get close to the PS6.
Sony has not yet made a statement regarding these claims. However, the increase in rumors about the price may affect the company’s planned launch strategy. The price of the new-generation console may directly affect not only sales success but also general interest in the brand. Gamers are cautious but hopeful for now.
