Demanda colectiva contra Sony por los reembolsos de aranceles de la PS5

Se presentó una demanda colectiva contra Sony Interactive Entertainment en un tribunal federal de California, alegando que la empresa obtiene un beneficio financiero indebido de los reembolsos de aranceles. El caso sostiene que los consumidores deberían recibir ese dinero tras haber pagado precios más altos por las consolas PlayStation 5.

La demanda, Walker et al contra Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC, fue presentada el 6 de mayo de 2026 ante el Tribunal de Distrito de los Estados Unidos para el Distrito Norte de California. Acusa a Sony de quedarse con ganancias inesperadas procedentes de reembolsos vinculados a aranceles que la Corte Suprema de los EE. UU. declaró ilegales en abril de 2026. Los demandantes sostienen que Sony aumentó los precios de las consolas para compensar los aranceles y que ahora debería transferir los reembolsos a los compradores en lugar de retener los fondos.
