| CourageTCD said: I've heard Nintendo sits in a pile of money due to Wii+DS and now Switch's sucess. That they had money to survive 2 or more Wii Us. If that's true, wouldn't it be better if they stick with Switch 2's current price and simply take the hits of these tariffs using that money I mentioned? If they rise up Switch 2's price even more, the Nintendo brand could be damaged to a no return point (it has been damaged already with the games' price polemic) |
I think they should take the hit if the tariffs aren't reduced much or at all. The United States is the largest market for Nintendo. An expensive Switch 2 could very much hurt Switch 2 in the USA and possibly forever.
Be that as it may, this is one of the few times where Nintendo is justified in raising prices.
