With Game Pass now more expensive the future of the service has been questioned. If it goes, we'll lose more than 'cheap' access to Xbox games. https://bit.ly/4h0sLJa

How to sell a video game console:

Here's what I said about the Switch 2 as well. Unlikely to see a price increase this year, but could see one next year.

I raised the alarm months ago that all 3 console manufacturers would raise prices, which they did (PS5, XBS, Switch 1).

As an aside, Nintendo also explored raising prices on Switch 2 when tariffs were temporarily at 10% for Vietnam. Now they're at 20%.

This is definitely impacting margins for them. While they may not be willing to raise prices right now, I can see them reconsidering next year.
Said it would happen.

Even though Sony is diversifying away from China (for US bound shipments), it's still an important manufacturing center for Sony.

30% tariff on China, 15% tariff on Japan, 20% tariff on Vietnam, 19% tariff on Malaysia means Sony is impacted no matter what.

Why are iPhone prices the same, but game consoles going up in price?

Trump exempted certain smartphone / computer parts from reciprocal tariffs

However, the US govt DOES NOT consider a video game console to be a computer

Game consoles are considered a separate category and subject to full tariffs

Will the PS5 / Switch 2 price increase?

Depends on:

1) Full assessment of tariff impact now that the current rates are stable (for now lol).

2) Impact of rising component prices such as memory costs.

3) Whether they'll absorb 1 & 2 for strategic reasons or pass on the costs to maintain margins.

Pourquoi remettre en selle le vieux chef atrabilaire de la France Insoumise alors qu'il n'a jamais été aussi rejeté par les Français qui ne supportent plus ses outrances et ses accusations? Par goût de la polémique? Parce qu'il est bon client? Pour réveiller des lecteurs assoupis sous le cagnard? 🤔

Plus de 120 000 ventes physiques pour le lancement d’Assassin’s Creed Shadows en France. C’est pas loin du triple de SW Outlaws et plus du double d’Avatar. C’est environ 12 fois plus que DA Veilguard. Hors FC/COD, c’est le plus gros lancement FR depuis SMB Wonder, et hors Nintendo depuis Hogwarts.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is the franchise's second biggest launch behind Valhalla by revenue, and Ubisoft's best ever day one launch on PSN.

The game has seen over 2 million players in its first 48 hours & released to "Very Positive" ratings on Steam.

Worth noting Ubisoft will still "explore strategic options for the company" (and have) given Outlaws, Skull & Bones and XDefiant challenges.

Shadows is doing well but it doesn't change the overall financial strains. It does help them achieve break even operating income though.
