Right but if that's after VAT is applied what's the base price for the EU? Does this mean Switch 2 games cost more in USA before VAT is applied? Or the same before VAT is applied? If USA games cost more before VAT then we can blame tariffs. If not then we cannot blame tariffs.

It depend of the country.

In France, videogames have a 20% VAT rate.  90€ would mean 72€ without VAT, equivalent to 78.15$ with current extchange rate.

That's roughly the same as the 79.99 euros price. AKA prices are the same without VAT tax. So at least in france digital is not more than physical. Or at least that's the way people in the USA would view it. We see tax as an alternate to the actual price because tax isn't baked into the pricetags here. If something costs $1 I have to add 7% sales tax and then it costs $1.07.
