Sony seems poised to up the price of PS5 hardware as well, not that long after it had already previously raised prices due to Trump's tariffs.

The PS5 did get a call out from CEO Hiroki Totoki when discussing the possibility of moving manufacturing to the US to avoid the brunt of Donald Trump’s tariffs. He admitted that the console “can be produced locally,” and that it would be “an efficient strategy” that “has to be considered going forward.”

Sony Interactive Entertainment published its Q4 2024 earnings report this morning, providing new details about nearly every aspect of its business. This included gaming and an update on the PS5 console. The PS5 sold 2.8 million units during Q4, bringing the console’s lifetime sales to 77 million.
