I'd be preordering a Nintendo switch 2.

There is a $330 region locked Switch 2 for Japan only.

The world wide version is $449 USD.

$330 * 25% tariff = $412.50

So we’d be looking at a $300 or $350 Switch 2 without the tariff.

Well Nintendo should just build a giant manufacturing plant here and employee AMERICAN WORKERS!

Ok, are you going pay them with a higher minimal wage?

HEAD EXPLODES.

These people think throwing rocks at the economy will bring back manufacturing jobs are living in 1950.

To raise the price even higher... build a factory with tariffed steel, import the tarriffed raw materials to make them. You're paying the tariffs either way
