You're wrong... "the companies are not going to eat that, the end user is", you can't "eat that" if you don't buy the game and they go bankrupt, and for those who stay, well, they are the ones insisting<br> <br>Sony can increase by 25% the new console price only because it's basically unthinkable a world without a new Play Station at this point, now picture a world without FIFA, what a great timeline. Also, monopolies stifle competition, let it die already,(reply>), I agree companies can only pass a limited amount of that revenue loss off to me before I give them the middle finger instead of money.<br>I do own a console, but if sony thinks im going to pay 600 and change for their new console they can get f'd,(reply>), @Brad Haines It's more likely that they will switch production to another low income country such as Thailand or India as it does seem to be the case.,(reply>), @Enclavefakesoldier they would spend more in production than the tax, so that wont happen, from any industry.,(reply>), Unfortunately the casual audience is to blame here and they do not care or are too stupid to realize this is a problem as will just continue to buy and play the game.,(reply>), Microsoft and Sony could move their console manufacturers to America which would bring jobs couldn't it?
