No one in the comments seems to understand why this is relevant. This is the opposite of the normal pattern of prices dropping as time goes on, solely because of trumps tariffs.

This isn’t a “oh I’m not making enough money” situation, this is a “oh if I sell it for the current price I’m losing money” situation.

Could some of it also be corpo greed? Absolutely. But the core reason for the price increases is trump, and his republican lackies.

Don’t let them pawn off blame to the companies.

Brilliant move. Not enough people buying your thing? Raise prices!

The raises will continue until sales improve

The customer doesn't boycott then the customer shall continue getting ripped off

Keep raising it, or lowering it doesn't matter.

Would never own an Xbox. Microsoft products? Hell no.

I'm sure they'll be flying off the shelves.
