Even during a RAMpocalypse, Sony and Microsoft come across as less consumer-friendly than some PC brands with their refusal to give US tariff refunds back to consumers (www.gamesradar.com)

Those tariffs would likely have eaten their entire margin so they have to pass it on. Even Panic had to pass them on.

Perhaps they could have gambled on the tariffs being rolled back, but if they got it wrong they would have lost money.

Its just a no-win scenario unless you can predict the future.
