Sony did not specifically say that the increase was related to the Canadian dollar, but a low dollar is obviously a “change in the market environment.”

Last month there was a similar price increase on the games for the rival Xbox One, moving from $59.99 to $64.99. That said, a representative at Microsoft said there are currently no planned announcements for a similar price increase on the Xbox One console itself, which is now set at $499.99.

“As with many products, pricing and offers vary from country to country,” Microsoft said in a statement. “We’re committed to providing the best value to all our customers and have nothing further to announce at this time.”

Video-game prices being higher in Canada is nothing new; in fact, higher prices were the norm until around 2008 when listings started matching the United States on the back of the strong dollar. In the mid 90s, when most games were sold on expensive cartridges, it was not unheard of for new games on large carts (such as Square Soft’s Chrono Trigger) to sell for over a hundred dollars.

Sony may be feeling the freedom to raise the Canadian price on the PS4 due to how well it’s selling.

The PS4 held the lead in U.S. video-game unit sales in February, while the higher-priced Xbox One generated more revenue, researcher NPD Group said.

Spending on video-game hardware increased 42% to $347-million from a year earlier, as players continued to snap up the machines, Port Washington, New York-based NPD said Thursday.
