Sony Raises PS5 Prices in U.S. Due to Tariffs and Trade War

TL;DR Summary
California Governor Gavin Newsom humorously credited Donald Trump for the PS5 price increase in the US, which was driven by higher tariffs on countries where the console is manufactured, including China and Japan. The price hike affects all PS5 models, with the cheapest now costing $500, amid similar increases announced by Microsoft and potential hikes for Nintendo's Switch 2 due to tariffs.
