It's not just tariffs. Products that are designed to be mass produced and mass bought are very expensive to make when no longer mass produced. Not enough demand to keep buying in bulk to allow them to keep the costs low. 

It's not just one or two game consoles ... it's basically all of them.

Lets just call this bullshit what it actually is (and always was) ... it's a Trump Tax on consumers. It's a sales tax on top of inflation. 

Nintendo Amiibos too are $10 more in the US then other countries versus how it used to be in the past where there was a roughly $1=1 Euro equivalent. 

Switch 2 price increase seems inevitable or Nintendo will just force people to pay it in other ways (higher software prices, higher Amiibo prices as mentioned above, higher accessory costs, etc.). 

But MS will know that very few people are going to buy Xboxes at these prices because only a few (relative to other consoles) are buying it now. It's not a price hike aimed solely aimed at consumers, there's something else going on. MS deliberately stopping people buying it so they can discontinue it is a possibility too.
