Forums - Gaming Discussion - 3 Major Consoles All Made in China

roadkillers on 24 January 2017

What the heck, Microsoft? Trump should tax them. I believe there are merits in taxing Sony and Nintendo (just my opinion though), but Microsoft is seen as an American console. Perhaps a 10% tax?

I don't understand the majority of your post...Yes, Trump may impose trade tariffs that impact video games and consoles...what does the rest of your post mean?



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Its actually Ghina. Sorry, but I had too Trump.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Yeah Trump, come save us all from consoles made in China. Also, thanks for making your "Trump" merchandise in... CHINA!!!



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

Tariffs would be great for protecting all the American console factories from unfair competition.

Doesnt this basically kill JP niche developer support for NA market? Thanks trump

How exactly will this benefit us?

It'll just make goods more expensive and a bigger hassle. Not everything can be made in America y'know. Factory jobs were imported to China and other countries for a reason.

 

I don't want to judge right away, but I'm skeptical about this decision.

Greatness awaits

This time it may very well have to.

It doesn't...you MAYBE save thousands of jobs by making products more expensive for millions. It helps a few and hurts the many, and it hurts people with the least the most.
