If Suffering is not buying a plastic toy because it's a bit more expensive then i wonder what type of childhood you have had?There seems to be a certain segment of the population that gets off on seeing other people distressed/suffering, even if it means shooting yourself in the foot. Like you've gone against your better judgement and made things bad for yourself, but the thought of someone else freaking out keeps you warm at night. Like why? What kind of childhood did you people have.
We knew they were coming but had no idea what the percentages would be. 46% tariff on vietnam isn't a "bit" higher, and 100 dollars would not cover that (assuming they built in some price to begin with). They are likely selling the console at a loss in Japan.We knew they were coming, while Vietnam was a bit higher. I honestly assumed they built $100 into the cost already, this shouldn't be more than a $400 machine, see Japan cost. I guess, it's wait and see what happens with negotiations.
I don't think it is that. It feels like we are watching a real life geopolitical "Jerry Springer" episode. Or WCW/NWO in the 1990's. It seems so surreal.There seems to be a certain segment of the population that gets off on seeing other people distressed/suffering, even if it means shooting yourself in the foot.

Probably does happen Randy, but not by June 5th.I don't see the problem.
All Nintendo need to do is open a factory in Ohio and make the Switch 2 there. There's still enough time for them to get it done.

Sarcasm?I don't see the problem.

They absolutely are selling the console for profit, we know the chip has been done for years, they have the margins. Yeah they didn't know Vietnam, but part of the margin $100, plus higher game prices should have supplemented it.

The costs of producing them in the US would make them more expensive still, not to mention the parts used to make it (for example the chipset) would still have to be imported and tariffed.I don't see the problem.

Couldn't happen to a better company lol.This really is the worst time to launch a new console. Very bad luck for Nintendo.
I was banging the kamala drum on principle because I knew shit like this would happen ignoring all the other bad stuff about the Annoying Orange.Well don't vote for a dumb like trump/musk and worse Musk is foreigner.

They most certainly did take it into account. But no one knew just how ridiculous orange man was gonna make the tariffs.I seriously thought this price was taking into consideration that tariffs were going to happen...jesus christ this is fucked if they think of raising the price more.

So what's the worst case scenario for prices? 110$ for Mario Kart & 630$ for the base unit.

We know the answer to that question, since it always happens the same.
Imagine paying $630 usd for a switch 2 with mobile graphics.... Couldn't be meGame prices shouldn't be affected by tariffs.
I don't think it's unrealistic to think we might see $600 USD for the Switch 2 hardware now. Hoping for $500 though.
Make America Cheap Again!

A company that sells you instructions for $20 and charge $90 for games. Take a guess.Interesting. I wonder if Nintendo will opt to increase the U.S price due to tariffs...
Most of the cost is tooling, not labor. Even TSMC, said the Arizona plant will have 10% running cost over Taiwan production.Next to the needed semiconductors you won't find people willing to work for one buck an hour there. It will always be expensive.
Another question is if they'll lower the prices once they are over. My qualified guess is no.Companies have to raise the price because of the tariffs that's a fact. The question is if they go further than the asked tariff.

. This thing might actually bomb like Wii U due to tarriffs.
No, just like last time.Anothee question is if they'll lower the prices once they are over. My qualified guess is no.
Producing in the US > Using Slavery and installing netting for workers who try to kill themselves.This is the cost of making America great again.
A worthy price to pay.
