Original Note:
Xbox’s global price hikes (effective May 1, 2025) are not solely due to U.S. tariffs. While the new 145% tariff on Chinese-made goods has impacted costs, Microsoft also cites rising game development expenses and ongoing supply chain disruptions as major contributors. https://www.the-sun.com/tech/14146512/xbox-price-hike-microsoft/ https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-tariffs-trade-war-05-01-2025/card/microsoft-raises-xbox-prices-lshYPwrig6p93YTfYYRm
