Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders to be delayed because of tariffs

Nintendo’s statement issued today raises the prospect that it could hike the price of the Switch 2 and its games further amid what is already an angry backlash to its next-gen pricing strategy.
Speaking in a video on their YouTube channel, former Nintendo of America PR managers Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang criticized Nintendo for the way it revealed the $449.99 price of the Switch 2 and the $79.99 price of Mario Kart World following this week's Nintendo Direct.
“I don’t want to blow things out of proportion, but this does feel like a true crisis moment for Nintendo,” Ellis said.

U.S. markets tumbled today after China hit back against Donald Trump's raft of tariffs. China, which faces a 54% import tax, has retaliated with an additional 34% tax on U.S. goods from next week.
Moments before the U.S. markets opened, Trump said "China played it wrong, they panicked," and insisted his policies would "never change."
The world is now left facing economic uncertainty, with some mainstream news media declaring the era of cheap goods now over for the American consumer. Some economists are predicting higher tariffs will automatically pass through to inflation and higher prices.

Japan could just lower their tariffs or Nintendo should build them here instead of china.
Probrem solved
Well not sure there is even a problem because the launch date is still the same.

I can’t imagine anyone older than 16 being bothered by this. But we all know this will create outrage among grown arse little boys all over this country

That's less than 20 percent of the global gaming market. Maybe you shouldn't imagine things and actually research them.

Maybe the soy boys could get an adult hobby, preferably something they can do outside.

Less screen time and isolation is something this country needs anyway.
Although this is just a temporary measure to decide whether to adjust sale price.

Good. If I was Trump I would ban it from being sold in America. We need kids going outside and playing face to face, not staying inside and playing Call of Halo or whatever.

It’s official:
The American experiment is a failure.

Not for switch 2, give is the numbers of adults being impacted

That’s a sad statement on our society then if that many adults are playing games. What a weak arse society our country has developed into

Yep. Anyone who is playing games past the age of 13 or so is a manchild that needs to grow up. Get better hobbies losers.

Hopefully we take this opportunity to end the Japanese government's anti-competitive support of PlayStation, a Japanese company, against Xbox, an American company.
