Like I think its clear at this point, Nintendo is raising it atleast 50$ in the US.
Its going to go from 450$->500$ (for the non bundle), and 499$ to 549$ for the bundle (this is the best case, if they raise prices imo).
(I don't see them doing less than 50$ increments in price.)

There's nothing clear right now, except that the stock market will further tank if Trump insists on his tariffs. But Trump doesn't have the power of Putin yet, so he can be stopped and it's almost guaranteed that he will be stopped, because all the people who supported Trump to bolster their own bank accounts will turn against him when he's making them lose money. Republican politicians will also begin to see the writing on the wall that supporting Trump's economic policies will make them unelectable, so they'll change their tune.

This global trade war that Trump has started is having such severe immediate negative consequences that it could all be dialed back completely within a manner of a couple of weeks, provided Trump's supporters show the spine to defy him. And if it plays out that way, none of the consoles' prices will change at all.
