Over the 12 months ending March, Sony shipped 18.5 million PlayStation 5 consoles, down slightly from 20.8 million the year before, bringing its lifetime shipments to 77.7 million shipped. Sony still manufactures the majority of PS5 hardware in China, and so its gaming business is especially at risk right now.

Even after the 90-day pause and reduction in rates announced last week, the 30% tariff on imports into the U.S. from China is substantially higher than the 10% rate levied for other countries, and games consoles were not included in the examples for select other electronics. Exemptions, I apologize, for select other electronics.

Microsoft has already raised the price of its Xbox console up by $100, though Nintendo has so far elected to keep Switch 2 pricing the same ahead of its launch next month. To which Joey Radstone superchats and says, get a Switch 2 now before they're $600.

And is that just lip service? Yes. Is that just a financial lip service? You say, like, yeah, we're investigating that, and we're finding out, no, we're not going to do it. Sure.

I think to your point of bringing Xbox, I thought, okay, then other shoes are going to drop any time now. Even Nintendo, right? When they said, all right, we're keeping the Switch 2 price the same for launch. When they went out with pre-orders, that to me speaks of, of course, just how crazy and shifting these sands are right now.

But then very much saying without saying, we're leaving the door open to raising this later on. I think... If you're PlayStation, if you're Nintendo, there's both the, well, the other guys are doing it, so what's it matter? And then there is the both, well, we got to try to make money and make up for these deficits we're looking at. So yeah, you do. And I think it would be both.

And I think it would be the same conversation we have all the time of, is the PlayStation 5 Pro for you? Which brings in Terry Huffman, who's super chatted before I think we were even live. I have a PS5 base. My TV runs it fully with HDR 4K. Is a PS5 Pro even worth it anymore since we know GTA 6 ran on a base... On a base PS5. I think we double typoed there, but... Yeah.

Terry, only you can decide how much money a PlayStation 5 Pro is worth. As somebody who uses both a PlayStation 5 Pro and a PlayStation 5 often, I see the differences, but I still haven't seen differences where I'd be like, ah... This would be the one. I think Monster Hunter runs so much better on my PlayStation 5 Pro, but it doesn't run the garbage mode on PlayStation 5.

I do think when you're talking about GTA 6, again, talking out of our asses we haven't played it or touched it, I would imagine you're going to see it in load times, you're going to see it in fidelity, you're going to see how far it out is there. FPS. Yeah. And how much does that matter to you?

I'll tell you, as somebody who's been re-reviewing and replaying, I should say, for the re-review, Outer Worlds, everybody, remember, we're reviewing it the Friday before the week of SGF so that we can do it on Friday and then be SGF and then be ready for that next week's Xbox presentation of Outer Worlds 2. Playing that on my Xbox Series X, loving it.
