Nintendo shifted Switch 2 production from China to Vietnam/Cambodia to avoid tariffs but The U.S. will tariff products from Vietnam at a 46% rate

I think tariffs are the reason for the high price point honestly. Nintendo had to be conservative the way they priced this.

Lucky the Switch 2 box can squeeze under the border fence pretty easily.
Just slip it through the crack in the wall and I'll throw back a sock with rolled up coins.

Fuck Tariffs.
NOTHING ever good has come from it. Last one caused the great depression.

It looks like a modest upgrade and I doubt most people are putting down $500 to play it. It didn't excite me at all and I'm a big Mario Kart fan.

These tariffs were announced after the console price. I doubt they were expecting tariffs this high.

Just ignore him. The Nintendo haters/trolls are out in full force today. Apparently Switch 2 was the worst thing ever shown and has no games...
I take it you don't understand how tariffs work?

If you are a Mario Kart fan i fail to see why that trailer wouldn't float your boat. It looked fantastic.
Each to their own I guess.

Go cry somewhere else over what the person on TV told you to be afraid of. THIS IS A NO POLITICS ZONE.

Yes the switch 2 price was announced earlier today, but these tariffs were announced less than 2 hours ago lol.
Well, as someone who understands economics, I was simply posting a fact.Go cry somewhere else over what the person on TV told you to be afraid of. THIS IS A NO POLITICS ZONE.

Maybe its because it's legitimately underwhelming. I've been a lifelong Nintendo fan but for a good while theyve really shifted from what they use to be. I suspect its due to their senior leadership dying off and/or retiring. Seems like they're just running on fumes.

The actual show could have been(a lot) better and i was super cold on it at first but when you look at the launch window games on paper its really good. Metroid, MK World, Donkey Kong plus all the 3rd party stuff and enhanced Switch games i'd say its one of the strongest launch lineups ever. If the games all land as expected of course.Just ignore him. The Nintendo haters/trolls are out in full force today. Apparently Switch 2 was the worst thing ever shown and has no games...

Mario Kart?
You think Nintendo won't release a new 3D Mario soon?
Software will be there, before the first holiday.
Also, on this thread topic, nothing will happen with Switch 2's price due to tariffs and the pricing will stay the same. Those were already baked in with the software increase.
Make me eat crow in a year if I'm wrong. I'll allow it.

Xbox with gamepass looks nice now. xD
And we all know these tariffs won't be implemented overnight and even on existing goods. It would be the apocalypse for modern consumerism.
It's all a big bunch of bollocks.

Of these, only MK World is a launch title.

Oh it looked fun but not $80/$500 kind of fun. It just looks like Mario Kart 8 with some gameplay adjustments.

Have a badge, I said launch window.
This is a strategy by Pres Trump to bring back jobs to USA and stop rampant outsourcing especially to China which causes allot of jobs loses in USA. Companies just needs to build factories in USA to get exemptions and tax cuts and incentives, and can still continue to invest in other Asian countries except China which will continue to be bombarded with tariff for there suppressive communist regime and unfair labor and trade practices.
No worries for us gamers, since I think Sony and Nintendo knows what to do since there are other Japanese companies already building big factories in USA, like for example Honda and Toyota

"Have a badge?" What are you trying to say there?
And so not launch. Praising its launch lineup as "the best ever" when it really only has MK World and ports is pretty funny.

I'm curious to see prices worldwide, but i doubt U.S Tarifs will impact prices worldwide.
The strategy makes no sense. Tarifs only exist as a protective measure for national industries and history show they don't work at all (source: i live in country that taxes all imports).

Cool. As someone with a poli-sci degree, I recognize how equally useless your degree is as well.

Never said I have a degree in economics. I think the exact words were, "I understand economics".Cool. As someone with a poli-sci degree, I recognize how equally useless your degree is as well.
Kinda different.

So you didn't praise it as "one of the strongest launch lineups ever?"
When exactly is Metroid Prime 4 releasing, then?

The tariffs can be bypassed if you build in America. There's like 3.5 trillion in manufacturing investments since Trump took office. The strategy is working so far.
As for Vietnam, I read the other day that they dropped their tariffs against the US so the tariffs factor may not hit them. Seeing how the tariffs are reciprocal, and in some cases not even as high as what other countries have on the US, the doom speak seems like propaganda. Why is it good for other countries to do it, but not the USA? (Open ended question, not necessarily directed at you)

That's what you get when you elect a guy who bankrupted 6 companies, just shocking he isn't economically literate.
