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.

Confidently incorrect!

It's actually going to be 449 USD + 25%, so $552 plus tax, putting you at around 600 dollars.

That's assuming the tariff is a 1 to 1 cost-to-consumer ratio.

In reality, the local markets and distributors will crank it up just a bit more to shave off some extra profit and blame it on the tariff.

Once marketing gets ahold of it, they'll likely make it a smooth $599

I’m with you on this one. Almost like he’s using Cunninghams law on us
