Nothing. ChatGtp simply calculated Vietnams Import vs Export to the USA and slapped 46% on Vietnam for exporting more than importing.
Which doesn't make any sense, plus ignores services, non material imports.

It's still 10% now, with currently 145% on China, so the Switch isn't out of hot water yet. Plus who knows what Trump is doing in 90 days, he only announced a pause. Nintendo can use their Vietnam production for the US, already 60% of US' Switches come from Vietnam and over half of all Switches are produced in Vietnam and Cambodia. (Which would have gotten 49% tarrif yesterday).

So for now Nintendo can increase US production in Vietnam and Cambodia to service 100% of the US from these places at 10% tarrifs, import and store then in US warehouses before July 8th when the 90 day pause is up.

That is of course if those plants are already making Switch 2, if the Switch 2 plants are in China then it's more fucked than before.

ChatGPT? That's how he's doing this? Just when I thought he couldn't get any stupider. -_-

Speculative, however he claims not and it would actually be an insult to ChatGTP lol

Not only are tariffs not 'reciprocal,' they're based on simple trade deficit formula, experts say

For example all the money Hollywood makes from the Chinese market is not considered at all, hence China now reducing Hollywood presence in China to retaliate.

"If you look at the formula, it's literally one variable divided by another variable, times 0.5. You could write this on the back of a cracker.... It looks like they were just trying to hide the fact that they did this in the most reductive, lazy way imaginable," Grozoubinski said.

Eh, Trump's America and China both suck anyway. They're bringing their respective economies down through a glorified dick measuring contest, and it's not gonna be an easy call considering Trump and Xi both have dicks that can be barely seen under even the most powerful microscopes. Even Bowser and Wario aren't as petty and vindictive as Adolf Tariff and Xi Jinpig.

I don't mind the price for the console itself, it's more or less in line with what I expected. Or at least the $450 price point would be, in Finland the current asking price for the Switch 2 is somewhere between 555 and 570 euros (or $620 - $637) depending on the outlet, which is quite frankly ridiculous and really puts me off from even considering getting the console.

Still, it's the game prices that I have the biggest problem with, because it's only going to serve as a precedent for everyone else to keep raising game prices as well if and when Nintendo gets away with it. It's much easier for other companies to follow suit once Nintendo shows that people are willing to accept 80-90 dollar game prices from one of the biggest players in the industry. The most egregious ones are the prices for Switch 2 versions of Switch games like Breath of the Wild and Kirby and the Forgotten Land, which feel like complete rip-offs at the prices they are listed.

Maybe things will change, but as things stand at the moment, I have zero interest in the console. The prices for both the system and its games have to come down quite significantly before I can justify buying one. Not that I'm in too much hurry either way, the main thing I'm worried, as mentioned above, is the precedent this sets for game pricing in general.

I don't know if anyone saw the video I shared in another thread from GameXPlain, but apparently it costs Nintendo at least $400 US to produce each Switch 2 system. Of course that doesn't excuse the prices of the software, it's not like it cost them half a billion dollars to make Donkey Kong Bananza.

To me the dead giveaway that the game prices are a matter of greed and not necessity is that Nintendo reps have actually been trying to justify charging money for Welcome Tour in the media. This is software that isn’t even a fraction as much of a “game” as something like Astro’s Playroom based on the gaming press who’ve gone hands on with it. And even Reggie is coming for them about this on Twitter now, pointing to why Wii Sports as a pack-in was necessary.

If they are greedy enough to charge $10 for a glorified system tutorial app, that tells me the game prices could stand to come down by a solid $10 or $15 as well. I think making Welcome Tour a free download and setting the standard first party game price to $65 (with $70 reserved for TOTK style epics) would turn things heavily back in their favor here. The console price isn’t as big of an issue considering the hardware looks worth a $450 price tag (though if the tariff crap comes back around in 90 days, then they’re back in a big problem situation).

Yeah, they should have made it a free download. I dont want that shit clogging up my Switch 2 memory personally, but for the people who want it, yeah it should have been free.

Here's another way of looking at it.

Well, they're really, really trying...especially with Doug Bowser going into full Don Mattrick mode.
