    The prices went up, and customers accepted that price.

    No, we really didn’t. It was forced on us, credit card and car debt is at record highs, homelessness increased, spending power at the average household is down. And part of the reason companies are getting refunds is over potential lost sales. I. E. Because some customers did in fact refuse to accept the price.

    Americans put Trump in place

    Yup. Once again, no regrer there, huh?

      I understand that Americans suffer under this and that many people are actually against tariffs. We don’t have to disagree there.

      However this article is just about the Sony PlayStation. No one forces people to buy a PlayStation. And Sony, a Japanese company, is also not affiliated with the US government.

        Tariffs are fine. We do them all the time. Blanket tariffs is profoundly stupid in a world with decades of free trade agreements.

        Sony, a Japanese company, is also not affiliated with the US government.

        Sony interactive Entertainment is an American company, moving its HQ to the US in 2016. It organizes the playstation brand and this story focuses on the Playstation division.
