The Switch2 was supposed to be $399 but now we’ll pay a $50 Trump Tax on every one.
That's assuming importers and middle men don't add on additional fees and I doubt they're going to be nice enough and only pass on the tariff percentage.
I remember the COVID-era supply line disruptions and the greed they brought. It never went away.
Greedflation! And economists finally agreed a couple years ago that the data proves it's a real thing that happened/is happening.
Wait until they see the game cards price now. Those are made in Japan.
Considering they're charging 80 bucks for mario kart world for a physical copy, well that's not going to be great either.
I thought that was only the rumored price. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a price revision before release up to $500, unless they had already priced tarrifs in.
24% of $399 is more like $95
