So now americans will just have to pay a little less than most of the world for their consoles instead of much less...

At 25%, I think it's quite a bit more than most other country. They did stomach the 10%, but I don't think they'll be able to do so with 25%, and will have to raise the prices - or not cut them in the US when everywhere else the prices go down.

Btw, the EU has 0% tariffs on Videogame consoles: https://madb.europa.eu/madb/euTariffs.htm?productCode=950450&country=CN

Yet we pay more. I would love to have a 300$ Switch for example.

Edit: Actually the dollar is pretty strong right now, so its not that much of a difference.lol
