Xbox & Nintendo LIED About Price Hikes… And We’re Paying For It


Listen Later

🎮 Gamers are sick of it — and rightfully so. Xbox and Nintendo just keep raising prices on consoles, controllers, and accessories in 2025. And the excuse? Tariffs.

But here’s the thing: those tariffs have already been suspended. So what exactly are we still paying for?

Is this about global market conditions... or just corporate greed?

In this video, I break down:

Why Xbox raised console prices in 2025

If Nintendo is using tariffs to justify accessory markups

Why the Switch 2 carrying case is $85

The real story behind the Xbox controller price hike

Whether prices will ever go back down now that tariffs are paused

This isn’t about business — it’s about trust. And right now? Fans feel betrayed.

💬 Do you think Xbox and Nintendo will ever lower their prices? Or are we just stuck paying more forever?
