14 May 2025
The company is also considering moving production to the United States.

    Tariff should not be part of MSRP.

      Only the PS vita requires hard reset if the user wants to change to a different PSN store region whole the rest could just log in and out.

        Sony would do better to stay in Japan and build and ship from there.
        USA is not the best choice.

          Whaa? Noo. Just keep increasing your prices here in Europe. And every other regions except the US. I mean I thought it was already established that we don't matter and only the US market does?

Or imagine Nintendo would allowed them to produce the CD adapter on theirs console and compete against them at the same time and the same price.


              And cheap eroge games in Japan should be region locked to keep those cowardice western snowflakes safe.

Factor in the added costs of importing components (with their own tariffs!) to the US rather than importing only the finished device, plus having to redirect all the supply chains, and you quickly see why Sony won't actually move production to the US.

                          Move the factory to Texas and hire migrants to work to keep cost down.

                            They should remove region restrictions from their gaming console so they can sell their console to everywhere and let people make acc aunts everywhere and not restric it to some special countries. That would solve a lot of their issues and dont need to rise the prices cause of one country tariffs.
