Trump tariffs will make video game consoles up to 40% more expensive
Another Donald Trump presidency could mean an up to 40% increase in the cost of video game consoles in the US, causing chaos in the industry.

Silver Lining. Fuck Consoles. Nothing that powerful should have most of its capabilities locked behind DRM, Licensing, and Walled Gardens.
I imagine similar effects for PC's
PCs*
Correct
Edit: checks history... Always correct.
The PC parts pipeline is ever-so-slightly more diverse, although the article does say Laptop prices could go up by 46% ...
Look forward to more machines being assembled in other countries before hitting US soil, same as is already done for appliances by way of Mexico. Lack of imagination and industry knowlege on the part of whoever wrote the article, or just the desire to fear-monger.
Frankly, prices rising is not something I care about. Taxing the rich has to start somewhere, even if its what the Dems should have been doing.
Tariffs don't really tax the rich, they just raised the cost for the people at the bottom. You think the rich are going to take Cuts just because?
I think the rich are more prone to buying new items. Eventually the prices of used items will rise as a result of demand, but not right away. No one needs a new game console, and few could not meet their needs with a used PC or laptop.
Most in the US already have all of the above, but sure, this disproportionally "hurts" the poor.
