Sony has raised the price of the PlayStation 5 again, making the console about 30% pricier than it was a year ago. This marks the second price hike in less than a year, with an increase of about $100 in the US. Why did the price go up? The company points to a mix of global factors: - higher production costs (especially chips) - supply chain issues - geopolitical tensions and more expensive energy - tariffs and general economic pressures Source: https://abcnews.com/Technology/wireStory/playstation-price-hike-means-gaming-console-cost-30-131473134
