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) |
20million Switch 2 sold over its lifetime in the US... lets say.
At say a 100$ loss due to these Tariffs... that's $2bn USD, right (rough math, 2 and 6 zeroes times 100...)? I suck at math.
Yes Nintendo could afford to toss 2bn out the window or set it on fire.
However that's alot of money. I agree it might be something doable though, and potentially if the US buys enough games it works out fine in the end. It would still mean their profits overall for this gen, with the Switch 2 would be effected.
