Last month, the company already announced price increases in Europe, the USA, and Japan. Now, the next step has been revealed – the price hike has also affected countries in Southeast Asia.
The situation in the industry remains unstable. Rising production costs, logistics, and currency fluctuations continue to pressure the market, forcing major companies to adjust prices.
Now, the changes have affected Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. The new prices will take effect starting May 1st.
This is another sign that the current generation of consoles is developing under different economic conditions. Instead of a price reduction several years after release, the market shows the opposite trend – price increases.
