Lifehack to avoid the tariffs!
Hopefully this doesn't affect Canada, but we'll probably get screwed too.

Tarrif's have worked in the past. Back in the 1800's the country was mostly funded by Tarrifs and times were prosperous. I don't think what My country is asking is Unreasonable, They are asking for the same amount that you charge us. You charge us 20% we charge you 20%.
Sounds like two positions that do not interfere with each other.3/1/25: Make English the official language of the US
4/4/25: I have to play Nintendo games in Japanese
they were 10% now 54%There have been multiple rounds of tariffs this administration has enacted which had an affect on the announced price as well as the delayed pre-order and potential price updates.
These tariffs won't JUST affect Nintendo but all videogames and consoles...
Any language tbh. Gaming-style learning sucks.I keep hearing duolingo is terrible for learning Japanese
They were likely already priced in but no one expected the fat clown to impose a near 50% tariff because the level of 'thought' that went into them was nothing more than to take the trade deficit divided by total goods of imports, divided by two.So the price didn't include the tariff???
I'm not sure why anyone thought the announced price would include the tariff… but yes this is the worst time to launch a console in the US, especially one that challenges the value proposition with more expensive games.
Cost of living in the US is going to increase dramatically as will job losses, and consumers will shrink their spending accordingly.
each component depending on where it's made will have an increase then the final product will have another increase, jumping from 10% to 54% is HUGEMost U.S eletronics are produced in Laos, China, Indonesia or Vietnam due to lower prices, so you can basically everything to increase in price
That's a nice fairy tale, honestly, but...no, that's not what is happening. Again, the so-called "reciprocal" numbers are fake at worst and misleading at best.
If that were truly the case, you'd hear a lot less complaints and even Nintendo likely wouldn't be delaying pre-orders, because the new tariffs would be almost certainly lower than what was announced.

Solution would be to produce domestically but there's no reason to since U.S gov doesn't offer incentives like China and Vietnman does.
Sound like Vietnam is coming to the table eliminating tariifs from US.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.
You can't seriously claim the tariffs are reciprocal when the numbers on the table used for comparison are not accurate at all (for instance, putting 10% tariffs on countries that aren't applying anything remotely like that to the U.S.), so the whole premise is rotten. It's an exercise born from mostly bad faith.
I will!Enjoy your Canadian price tag
I'm with you..I don't understand it myself. I mean most American's don't have passports or leave their own counties ever so it shouldn't surprise us that they're as ignorant as they are.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.

Yeah, how much human effort goes into making a switch? I bet it's 80% putting machine made parts into the boxes, not some guy with a soldering iron. Hell, I can strip down and reassemble a joy-con in like 5 min with just the crap tools I have, much less the little tricks they must use. So even if its an hour or 2 of human work all told, that is a $20ish difference. It ain't master electrician level work there.Most of the cost is tooling, not labor. Even TSMC, said the Arizona plant will have 10% running cost over Taiwan production.

Producing wafers at TSMC Arizona is only 10% more expensive than in Taiwan: TechInsights
It is equipment, not labor that defines chipmaking costs.www.tomshardware.com
EhhhhI will!

Hahah gamers suddenly care about politics.
They'd rather take the worst the dems have to offer rather than have to deal with MUH VIDYAGEAMZ BEING CAUGHT UP IN A TRADE WARRRRR.
With US salaries compared to china/vietnam switch 2 made there would be 999$ at the leastI 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.
this its dumb i know some do not like the guy but the way they way freak out is just so tiring.Hahah gamers suddenly care about politics.

Incentive = Slave Labor and Child LaborChina and Vietnman does.
It's not just gonna be your video games…Hahah gamers suddenly care about politics.

Please, Mr. President, no more winning! I'm tired of winning!
