I voted for this

I voted for this

everything doubles in price the last 6 years

now niggers complain

i'm glad there is more suffering

That doesnt make any sense. The proposed tariffs are 100%. That would cause a doubling of the prices at retail

The most retarded part is that the tariffs havent been implemented yet so there are no price rises yet due to tariffs

Either you are knowingly lying or you are downs syndrome level stupid and cant identify profiteering when you see it

wow it's nothing

Microsoft is american company. Businesses are raising prices because they can blame trump for it. It's a way to increase revenue and act like it's not their fault

I hope all gaymers kill themselves because they can't afford their stupid toys

consul plebs

cost $15 to manufacture

sell for $80

uh oh goy there are tariffs now so we need to charge $90!

I hope you do likewise for having a sub saharan african level IQ and posting this kind of dishonest nonsense

Wait just a minute!
You guys told me that it was the evil corporations would get tariffed and that you would get well paid jobs in their new American factories.
Did you lie to me again, Anon Babble?

i don't know a single person who has bought an xbox console since the 360.

Zoomies, redditors and retards still buy consoles

I think they planned to do this for a while. PS5 got price hiked last year and the electronics are exempt from tariffs right now. Trump’s trade war is merely the justification to do all of this and they won’t come back down. If he didn’t do this they would say this is a correction to account for inflation since 2020

Did you for a fucking second think any CEO would eat the tariff costs? Even companies completely unaffected by tariffs will jack up their prices now and blame them.

There are no tariff costs for electronics yet you brain damaged clown

I'm part of the PC master race, but don't look at GPU prices right now.

Im not buying 5xxx series. Im sticking with my 4090 for at least another generation

9070XT looks ok though for mid range and its available at RRP in the UK

A good game hasn't been released in how fucking long now? Good games haven't been consistently released for how much longer??
Why is the left pushing so hard on the game console narrative? Are they really SO out of touch that they believe this could EVER be effective? There's nothing to play on any console anymore- how could this matter?

why is it getting more expensive isn't xbox american?

Oh no fellow chuds!

how will we afford to play Woke Nigger Excellence Fairy Feminist Goddeses IV noe???

Consolefag

Lol, lmao even.

Even companies completely unaffected by tariffs will jack up their prices now and blame them.

Learn to fucking read you useless mongrel. They will whine about "economic uncertainty" which is carte blanche to set whatever prices they want and blame the government.

i got a 3090 right before covid started and it's been good enough. oblivion remastered runs well enough.

Btw the us is making Taiwan inflate its currency Vs the dollar so in the last two days of trading all future CPUs and GPU have gone up in price by at least 10 percent
Thanks retards

gayming faggots will pay it happily just like they blow the rest of their money on onlyfans whores.

Xbox is gay globohomo console, all consoles are globohomo trash, even pc. All gaming is trash goyslop. Some indie games are okay and that’s about it

Good. Men need real hobbies that involve exercise or building things.

I am honestly ready to give up on console gaming with how kike like they have been getting with their pricing.

Did you for a fucking second think any CEO would eat the tariff costs?

I read just fine you fucking downs syndrome child. Try again with more bullshit

>cost $15 to manufacture

You can manufacture them for 15 and sell for 16, nobody is stopping you, MIGAtard.
The only thing you manufacture is corn syrup, meth, deep-fried sticks of butter and BBC RAW footage.

You couldn't make a VCR worth a fuck when USA was 80-ish % white, now kids are <50% White and I doubt you could manufacture a working controller.

Thank you for todays episode of things that never happened

NOT MUH HECKIN VIDEO GAMES!!!!

lol, TDSers are all chidlren.
to be fair, Microsoft still imports parts. But who cares? It's fucking video games. There are more important things to worry about. The border crisis was going to continue driving housing costs up and Trump got that under control.

The only thing that Poland manufactures is savage butthurt. Dont worry it can be repaired with blue tape

This only takes more money from niggers so whatever

you don't seem to understand how economics works. If they could have charged $600 instead of $500 before they would have done it. Raising the price means fewer people will buy so they will have to lower the price. This is companies testing the waters, but eventually consumers and corporations will both eat a portion of the tariffs just like with any other corporate tax. Part of the raises are also just inflation. Companies don't adjust their prices constantly, instead they keep the same price for a couple years and then bump it up for inflation.

Not my problem. I don't play console games.

Why is inflation so high in the US?

Who the fuck is buying Xboxes? Literally only for niggers and shellshocked marine bros who literally only play NBA/Madden and Call of Duty.

unironically "fuck modern gamers"

zoomers still arent gonna vote left, sorry shill!

inflation exists everywhere, not just the US. It goes up and down, some of it was due to COVID.
But like I said, inflation doesn't automatically cause all prices to increase immediately. Companies don't constantly adjust prices. So if there is 5% inflation in a year, a lot of products will cost the same and the company eats the cost of inflation for that year. Then after a few years the company raises prices 25%. This is how things have always worked.

That isnt an answer to the question I asked. It generic ChatGPT nonsense and avoidance

Lets try again, its really fucking simple:
Why is inflation so high in the US?

Let's just ignore the ENTIRE REASON we voted for Trump was because prices were skyrocketing under your 100% Jewish cabinet for the last four years, retard. Now you fags want to suddenly pay attention to inflation when Trump won, but when we brought it up during the stolen four year term, it was "the economy is fine CHUD". Go fuck yourself, Jew.

Tariffs are indeed retarded, however:

Xbox is shit
They are kikes who will look for any excuse to raise prices by 6 gorillion percent

Ummm.... PlayStation is the console of niggers and bug people, retard. And they're gonna jack up the price of the PS5 to $700, and the Pro to $900. So basically, console gaming in general will only be for very well off people with disposal income.

Get fucked console SLAVES, by the way they are hiking prices for the world not just USA if u think its just because of (((muh tariffs))) LMAO, get jewed.

define "so high." You aren't asking a legitimate question. Inflation is not that high in the US. I suspect you are not arguing in good faith here.

Muh Vidya...

Who gives a fuck about gaming?, I want to be able to afford a house!

You couldn't make a VCR worth a fuck when USA was 80-ish % white

Were they even manufactured or even assembled in America by that point? I assumed they were all made in Japan.

The most retarded part is that the tariffs havent been implemented yet

but they have though. try knowing what the fuck you're talking about before weighing in.

Gaming is dead
there has not been a single good game released in more than a decade
every gaming studio is dead and the direction they chose to take will take at least 15 YEARS before it gets even slightly better
Gaming is dead

Trade negotiations ongoing

Taiwan central bank going uh yeah we know it's going up, but we're not going to do anything about it

You're going to see a lot more of this soon
Trump wants to keep dollar reserve status and can't devalue so the only option is to make everyone else inflate to weaken the dollar

Thanks Trump. Time for you nerds to get out of your house.

you voted for this, the biggest tax hike on the middle class in all history, all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires

The biggest tax hike on the middle class in all of history occured under Joe Biden when there was a 900% increase in prices due to his inflation tax.

that's for smartphones and computers you dildo. not gaming consoles.

all your pc and phone parts come from the same place you spastic and trump axed the bill to bring that shit back to america out of spite of it being a joe biden policy.

lol not even you believe that despite your devotion to the cause

Remember that the national average cost of a family home tripled in 3 years under Biden and the irreparable generational damage this has caused. Joe Biden took from the poor and gave to the rich. Donald Trump takes from the rich and gives to the poor.

Taxes as well as literally else except for estrogen therapy for trannies went way up under Biden, you cocksucking, gaslighting, lying kike.
The only thing that's gone up so far under the orange retard is chink trinkets that unless you're a poor faggot, it doesn't affect you

LMAO

Imagine being a consolefag. No one sucks big corporations' dicks like console gamers.

They all did the same shit with the COVID.

95% of parts in literally every single electronic device is made in china. And for like 80% of them there is no alternative. Hell, almost all PCB is made in china.

It's moving to India, Vietnam, etc

LOL no it's not. The final assembly plants are moved there you still need parts made in china.

It's going to be hilarious in a month or two when stockpiles run out.

Video games aren't important.

They are a big part of the entertainment industry and a cultural factor.

They do, just yours increasingly don't, as the industry is following a suicidal path just like Kikewood.

85% of "gamers" are on their phone, retard. Playing the equivalent of Candy Crush on online casinos, porn games disguised as "gacha", and other absolute trash.

GAMING IS DEAD

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(((Entertainment))) is not important. I hope the 100% tariff on movies does go through so people like you learn how to actually be alive and not just a passive consuming sponge.

Serves console gamers right for being retards. Anyone above midwit IQ got a PC a decade ago.
Also game companies need to stop doing this cross play shit with PC. I don't want to play with niggers and white trash on console and their shitty wifi internet connections that drop out every 2 minutes.

Gamers actually want the AAA industry and console manufacturers to collapse. So yes I did indeed vote for this.

It doesn't matter that much to me. I spent almost $10k leafs on a computer when an Xbox would be $800 leafs.

Not expensive enough

That would cause a doubling of the prices at retail

Do you think the retailer sells it for the same price as they get it?

Taxes are great unless they're called tariffs

kek this.

Leftists: TAX THE RICH!!!

also Leftists: NNOOOOOO not like that!!! If you tax the rich then the rich will just make us pay more!

Oh no, 100 extra dollars on an already overpriced shitbox. Buy it or don't buy it.
