Sony hikes Playstation 5 price by 25% as Trump tariffs bite

The article's headline is misleading, in that it suggests the price hike is directly caused by the tariffs rather than by their secondary effects.

The PS5 is made in Japan and China, and so why would the UK retail price increase as a result of import tariffs in the US?

The real reason for the price hike is further down.

> The company cited “a challenging economic environment, including high inflation and fluctuating exchange rates” behind its decision to increase the retail price of the PS5 in some markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Oceania.
