After Microsoft revised Xbox console prices, the cost of a PS5 looks more reasonable. Sadly, a financial analyst thinks Sony could react to tariffs with a larger PS5 or PS5 Pro price increase. Sony PlayStation relies on console sales more than Microsoft and can't afford the loss in profits.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Analyst-expects-PS5-and-PS5-Pro-price-increases-to-700-900-after-Xbox-console-tariff-response.1009168.0.html
So in the US the reason is tariffs.
What's the reason for the price bump in Europe?

Just to charge more I suppose. Gaming is on a trend to become unaffordable for most people.
Between GOG, the Steam games that huge discounts every once in a while, and games that Epic games has given for free... I have a lifetime of gaming and I'd still not have time to play all games.
The game industry can just go ahead and triple the price of games if they want.
I really hope people stop buying expensive games to make them think twice.
Horseshit! The tariff issue will be resolved by summer. Expect prices to fall even more when the US isn't forced to pay the tariffs we've had to for decades! Trump's reciprocal tariffs will cause EVERY country to have to lower theirs! Economy 101! Stop your fear mongering articles! You'll be praising Trump for making world trade fair again!

LOL. Good one. The rest of the world will just commerce within themselves without the US.
I almost thought that you were being serious (sometimes on text it's not easy to tell).
Cheers!
