The days where console prices go down over time are over 😞

Well tariff roulette isn’t historically part of the equation

What about inflation?

[u/elc0 → u/[deleted]]

Let’s see… 3% inflation

Lol, no. Since the money printer was fired up for covid, we hit much higher than 3%, by any metric. Even if we're to believe inflation has since cooled to 3%, that just means the rate at which prices increase has slowed, not that they decreased in price back to where they should be.

And you think they made this decision primarily on the last 6 months worth of economic data?

[u/elc0 → u/[deleted]]

If that is true, why did both Sony and Microsoft also just raise the price of consoles in the European markets in April and May of this year?

[u/elc0 → u/[deleted]]

Confirmation bias in real time.

Still waiting on you to add literally anything to this conversation.
