Increase price and pass cost of tariffs down to consumer

2 comments

The US market is like half of Nintendo's money.

Add to that, consumers were already price sensitive on Nintendo, they've never been a "good value" situation.

They already raised the price quite a lot for the Switch 2 (compared to the first console) and people were already complaining about the prices BEFORE you had to slap an extra $200 per console and $20 per game for a "Americans didn't pay attention to 6th grade" tax.

This is really going to hurt the console market, like, in general.

Every company should present their prices with the tariff separately

Widget Pro 2: $1000 + Republican Tariff $460

Oh and don't personify Trump in these tariffs, always refer to them as the "Republican Administration Tariffs" so the rank and file senators can't hide behind "but it was Trump".

They are enabling this crap.

This would be consistent with US practice of displaying price always excluding tax.
