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. |
Being an expert on economic topics doesn't mean much when the actor is a president who doesn't understand the economy, trade and tariffs. The people at Wall Street had anticipated a negative impact from Trump's tariffs, but it turned out that they underestimated the damage, so the Dow Jones dropped by about 10% in just two days (to put this in perspective, a 2% drop over the course of a whole week would already be significant).
"Evolving market conditions" refers to what the Trump administration will do in the near future. It's a reference to great uncertainty because Trump is utterly incompetent, reckless and stupid. During the past two months he has announced tariffs, put them in place, taken them back within a day, announced a delay, announced a further delay. Right now nobody knows what he will do next week. Could be that he caves in and blows the whole thing off. Could be that he doubles down.
But what is certain is that Nintendo is not dropping the prices of anything, nor even considering it, because of internet drama.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
