Man, this price hike for the PS5 in Japan is a bummer. Another 13,000 yen? That’s almost $100! It’s wild to think about how much these consoles are costing now, especially with all the accessories getting a bump too. I get that inflation and all that play a role, but it feels like Sony is just squeezing us a bit harder.
I wonder if this means we’ll see a similar increase in the West soon. It’s tough to keep up with all these price changes when we’re just trying to enjoy some gaming. Hopefully, they’ll at least drop some sick new games or features to justify it!
