Other electronics manufacturers are also relocating their production facilities.
Microsoft is actively expanding Xbox console production in Vietnam to protect itself from a sharp rise in component prices caused by US tariffs on goods from China. This is evidenced by official regulatory documents cited by Reuters.
According to the application, Foxconn's subsidiary, Fushan Technology (Vietnam), is seeking permission to increase the capacity of its factory in Bac Giang province to produce up to 4.8 million Microsoft gaming devices annually. This figure likely includes not only the Xbox Series X|S consoles themselves, but also controllers, headsets, and other accessories.
Another regulatory document indicates that the Chinese company Luxshare (one of the world's largest electronics assemblers) plans to produce up to 4.5 million game consoles annually in Vietnam starting in 2026. The brand is not disclosed, but experts suggest that it could be the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, or again Xbox — all three companies face the same problems.
