Re: Brexit Could Mean a More Expensive PS4K for UK Gamers

With not just the pun plummeting but also investors world wide pulling their money out, it will take a while for the UK economy to recover. While prices will go up, wages will not and there will be jobs lost especially when the Leave process is completed and businesses have a massive loss of trade and tourism.
There's a few ways it can go. With job losses more may work for themselves and there could be more UK single person game developers. There also could be heavy discounting of games and consoles to fight the waning demand as more decide a bluray player and discs a fraction of the price of console and games is the only entertainment they can afford.
Worst case scenario is only the really dedicated console fans keeping buying consoles and games, and a lot less end up stocking and only with a reduced selection. Best case scenario is things return to normal in a year.
It really all depends on the work done by the government and businesses on making sure new deals are in place by the time Brexit happens to minimise job losses and business closures. But it will still happen, which is why investors pulled their money out of the UK to invest in countries with a much more stable and profitable outlook.
