“Considers” meaning it’s already been decided and they’re just waiting for the right time to announce the bad news.

worth noting the article has this quote:

Sony should’ve stopped making new IP live service games to reduce their deficit burden.
They are late, it’s no longer 2015-2020.
I prefer 2015-2020 live service titles.

Seems really sus since the UK reached an agreement over the weekend.
I wonder how high they want to jack up the prices since it’s only a 10% . . . then again the consoles are made in China, which is now starting to break.

Playstation has never done anything pro consumer. Idk why peoole thought they would be the savior now. They raised console prices worldwide less than 2 years ago. They just released an $800 console. It has little to do with tariffs and more that the whole industry agreed to raise prices.
