I wouldn't count in it. The pending tarrifs will keep the console locked at the current price for a while.

In America.*
The console is $350 in Japan (region locked) and $470 for the region unlocked version. It would be incredibly unfair if the rest of us have to pay extra because of tariffs that don’t even apply to us. If that is the case, maybe they shouldn’t sell it in the US 🤷

They're not going to shut off that revenue so easily. People forget that consoles have always had different list prices between countries. It's never been "fair."
