The company projects $680 million in losses due to tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. Currently, most Sony hardware is manufactured in China, and Hiroki Totoki, Sony's CEO, noted the company is considering relocating console production to the United States.

Sony maintains a three-month console inventory in U.S. warehouses, and as this stock depletes, the company will likely be forced to raise prices.

Earlier this year, Sony already increased console prices across Europe, Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

This potential move (if implemented) would follow industry trends - Nintendo was first to raise prices for its games and products, followed by Microsoft. However, it remains unclear whether Sony will also raise prices for its games.

In recent years, the gaming industry has been gradually moving toward a $100 price point for standard game editions. However, the next significant jump may occur imminently - when Rockstar finally announces pricing for GTA 6, which is currently generating unprecedented interest.
