I'd prefer the accessories go up a little than the Console and game prices go up. Some Switch accessories will work with Switch 2, so there's no need for me to buy another Pro controller.

They are worried about the launch and the price debate atm (already alot of PR about prices).
Watch it go up, after that 90 day freeze on tariffs Trump put in place, goes away.
In japan its sold for like 350$, and probably at a small loss.
Estimates are putting it in the 350-400$ range to build.
Meaning at 450$, they are selling it at like a potential 50$ profit only.

10% tarrifs, is probably like 40$ of that 450$ price.
Meaning now nintendo is only profitting like 10$ on each unit.... so they can "accept" that.
Once those 90 days pass, if Trump is serious about rising the tariffs again..... Nintendo will raise prices on their Switch 2.
They wont sell at a loss as a principle.


The most fun way to understand this, is to watch this:

How trump SAVED nintendo fans

Aren't your prices including tax already ? 

So it isn't too different with tax included here.

It does include the tax, yes. 

I plan on getting a Switch 2 Pro Controller eventually and even a second pair of Joy-Cons (if they end up more reliable than Switch's Joy-Cons) but the prices are so high.

I'm going to have to stick with my Switch Pro Controller to start. 

I hope they don't do that. Nintendo will get backlash if they choose to increase the price of the console. I understand it would be due to the tariffs, but still.

Remember when amiibos used to be like 10-13$ or so?

Gamestop now has ones for 40$, for the Switch 2.

Tariffs will rise prices. If Nintendo won't accept selling units at a loss.

I think its the most likely outcome at this point.
Trump won't walk back, his tariffs on china ect.
Else what was the point of all this? the damage it has done to the economy ect.
That 90 day freeze, is likely to be the last, hes willing to give (lest he end up looking like a joke, to his own crowd of supporters).

Oh, jeez! When did they start costing that much?

Tariffs....  If I knew I had to get a Switch2, as a american, I'd be trying to be a early adopter, because I don't think it'll get cheaper anytime soon.

Honestly, that's what I'm gonna try to do. I'll try to preorder it from Target since I still have a gift card balance. I used up much of it to order Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition. Also, early on, I put in my interest in the system back when the Switch 2 Direct ended, so if Target doesn't work out, I'll try Nintendo themselves on May 8th assuming I get the invite to order it.
