People were saying "This makes no sense. Xbox series S was the cheap option, Thats all it had over sony. Now why would anyone buy it?"

Now I'm not saying the game companies worked out a deal with each other… But if sony now raise console prices so xbox s makes perfect sense again…

Might be a little fishy.

Buy American. Problem solved.

Microsoft is an american company.

Microsoft has to buy parts from China because China is the number one producer of rare earth minerals in the world.

Because the parts only China can produce are being taxed more than the price of the part itself, Microsoft has to raise prices.

Microsoft isn't the only one. Most toy manufacturers are saying there is going to be a massive toy shortage across the board this Christmas.

For decades now Fox News has been saying that the government is waging a war on Christmas. It looks like Trump finally found a way to win that war.

>Buy American. Problem solved.

You really don't want rare-earth mineral production at the levels America would need being on-shored to America.

The process of extracting the stuff is incredibly toxic, and leaves massive swaths of land uninhabitable.

The process of separating the valuable elements is difficult and dirty creating a massive amount of waste compared to what it produces.

Your children should not be playing with carcinogenic chinese shit.

Aside from the minerals themselves which damage the land to excavate, there is nothing that they can't produce in America.

The thing I've hated most about Christmas lately was how it's just been an exchange of chinese shit bought on amazon, the last few years. Fuck that.

Xboxes aren't mined. They are manufactured, and there is zero reason they shouldn't be manufactured in America.

Stop sucking chink dick, faggots.

Biden did the CHIPS Act (Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America Act) toward that end. Ofc Trump wants to kill it, because he's either retarded or wants China to win. Probably both.

Yeah, the USA is so perfect.

Yeah, Biden doing that confused me. I can only assume that it's a case of the standard Democrat naming convention where it doesn't actually do anything in the description they give.

Bro, are trying to argue that china ISN'T filled with cancer? It's so full of pollution that they can't even see the real sun.

Who cares what they cost. I wouldn't even play most new releases if they were free.

There are enough amazing old games to fill 100 lifetimes.
