What Will Be The Prices For PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X?
Most sources agree that game consoles will cost about $500. It is a good price, but it could be even more. Fortunately, new information says that this will not happen. We are very pleased with latest news, because we are big fans of game consoles from both manufacturers.
A recently concluded US-China trade agreement will not affect the prices of new game consoles from Microsoft and Sony, meaning they will not become more expensive.
To be precise, in case of breakdown of the negotiation phase, the US would impose regular tax duties of 25%. These taxes would affect the price of many products, including new game consoles.
It is pleased that the countries have found a common language, so the danger has passed.
