    Well, that’s tariffs for you. Completely expected, though a ~10% bump on the PS5 doesn’t adjust for all the tariff increase IIRC.

          Positive feedback from Trump trying to fix an economy he is beyond understanding.

        That’s not a particularly realistic explanation

        The USD index has weakened by 10% as a whole, but not relative to the JPY. It has held roughly steady against the yen for the past couple years, before which the yen had weakened significantly. USD to JPY is extremely high right now, compared to where it has been over the past 15 years

      *capitalism for you.

      the tariffs are part of the overall system which is designed to exploit folks a few rich owners can profit.
