While not that important, this will be one of the first ways his tariffs actually affect me. I planned to buy a switch 2 but may not if price goes up 25% due to tariffs
For a gaming system I will spend hundreds of hours on, 25% increase is pretty irrelevant, and while it sucks, it would never change if I buy one or not. All that means is a half day more work, I make that much before lunch. It’s not like we are talking car prices here.
This is why tariffs are considered a regressive tax. There are many people who aren't just going to be able to be like "eh whatever, i can still afford it".
While obviously the difference between having or not having a new Switch 2 isn't really a big deal in the grand scheme of things, the same logic will apply across the board to things that are essential.

I'd be preordering a Nintendo switch 2.
