last week i wrote up a sort of explainer breaking down 1) why video game consoles are so expensive (it's not just RAM/storage), 2) the likelihood of price reductions (0% through 2027), and 3) second order effects (console shortages/zero stock/grey market gouging). www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...
Video game consoles are more expensive than ever, right as they should be getting cheaper. AI and tariffs are partly to blame.
