Sony & Microsoft Tell Console Gamers To Kick Rocks Over Tariff Refunds

Sony and Microsoft are resisting consumer class action lawsuits that demand the distribution of multi-million-dollar tariff refunds to gamers. Following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling declaring certain import duties illegal, these companies are seeking corporate tax clawbacks. While Sony projects receiving $508 million back, primarily for its gaming division, both firms argue they are not obligated to pass these savings to buyers who paid higher prices for PlayStation or Xbox consoles during the tariff period.
