Sony and Microsoft are in court right now arguing they don't owe console buyers a single cent of tariff refunds. Let that sink in: prices jumped because of tariffs, gamers who paid the higher price sued to get it back, and both companies' legal teams responded with the corporate equivalent of a shrug. Sony even called the refund demands "speculative and illogical" — which is lawyer for no.

The console you bought at the inflated price. Both companies say the difference is officially your problem.
Nintendo already made the exact same argument, so congrats — this is a rare Big Three consensus. The one thing Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo agree on: not paying you back.

PS5 versus Xbox. Thirty years of rivalry, and the first thing they agree on is keeping your refund.
