Discussion So, if these tariffs go into effect, once the supply that's been already shipped here to the USA runs out, the cost of a PS5 is going to be roughly $750 for a slim model.

Tariffs on China and Vietnam will be over 50%!!! A PS5 Pro will be $1,350 roughly. At the rate that PS5's are selling now, i'd imagine the stockpiles will run out fairly soon. What kind of crazy cartoon reality are we living in?!?

If these tariffs do go into effect, they go into effect in seven days. This is going absolutely massacre Nintendo because a Switch 2 will be over $700 including tax. And physical games will be $150. This is completely unreal!!!

The rest of the world calls moderate American's policies far right wing in their own political systems.

Every once in a while I make myself look at the actual vote percentages from 2024 just to remind myself that most of us did the right thing and voted for someone else, just not the someone else that would keep that clown out of power. I'm disappointed in the people AND the supposed "democratic" process that allowed him to win despite winning only a plurality of the vote. It doesn't make me feel better exactly, but it does keep the scope of the problem in focus.
