Wait so this is good news for Nintendo then. It means that the very most the Switch 2 will cost will be $500. At this point they might as well just eat that $50. Same for Sony ($40 - $70) and Microsoft ($30 -$50). Just take the hit.

From what I saw, gaming consoles for some reason aren't part of the exceptions, in addition, even these exemptions for the other things are only for the 145% or whatever the fuck it was, there is still a separate 20% tariff on China which was put on them about a month ago for some made up fentanyl claim. It basically seems like whoever gave Trump a bribe got exemptions for now.

However!!!

LUTNICK: ELECTRONICS PRODUCTS WILL BE PART OF UPCOMING SECTORAL TARIFFS

SEMICONDUCTOR, ELECTRONIC TARIFFS WILL COME IN A MONTH OR SO
