Sony raises PlayStation subscription prices (SONY:NYSE)

Sony raised prices for new PlayStation Plus subscriptions after hiking hardware prices about a month earlier, citing "ongoing market conditions." The move suggests higher consumer costs across its gaming ecosystem, which may support revenue but could weigh on demand. Impact is likely limited to Sony and the gaming subscription segment rather than the broader market.
