I honestly think this has more to do with all the "drop the price" criticism than tariffs. They had all this time to plan everything, tariffs are no news, and just now, after the treehouse, they make that decision? Strange, to say the least. Hopefully they are reconsidering the pricing, on the consumer's side.

You really think Nintendo thought the tariffs were going to be 46%? There is a reason all clothes store stocks of USA companies was down 25% yesterday, and Apple is down 16% in two days since they all come from Vietnam

Tariffs of this magnitude are news and they are unexpected, hence why they are refered to by economists as "worse than the worst case scenario." That's because the mathematical formula for calculating the tariffs has no logical basis.

How could they plan for tariff rates that hadn't been announced yet? It definitely was new news. Nintendo themselves are saying it's because of tariffs.
If it wasn't due to the tariffs then USA wouldn't be the only place where the preorders are getting delayed.

I'm not from the US so I don't really know exactly what's going on and how much freedom your president has to make such decisions, but Nintendo definitely has specialists working for them, and they also mentioned "evolving market conditions". That could be interpreted in many ways, hence my point. But I guess with all these half-assed decisions, you must all be right and we're kinda screwed, since prices in Brasil tend to fluctuate based on dollar prices as well.
