Dont expect a grand announcement from retailers about these price increases.

Tariffs drive up prices quietly, without warning.

A 10% tariff on a $500 console could raise the price to $548.

A 25% auto tariff is now in effect.

And thats not where the price hikes will likely stop.

Thats because there are plenty of manufacturers worldwide offering similar products.

Retailers are less likely to pass along the full cost when shoppers can easily find a cheaper alternative.
