I doubt the majority of the nintendo customers are going to care to be honest. The only people that really got screwed were people who missed the train on buying the switch two and decided to finally jump on board after they raised the prices by 40$ in response to the tariffs.
If you were a nintendo fan, you likely bought the switch 2 at launch or soon after, which was long before the tariff price increase. And general game prices didn't really jump in any meaningful number as a response to it.,
Not saying that I think those customers who did spend more on it shouldn't get a refund but, I do think that the majority of nintendo fans are either unaffected, or the amount wouldn't be worth chasing. I highly doubt this instance will be the deciding factor on many fans for a "yea fuck Nintendo I'm out" reaction. There are far worse things that Nintendo has done that I think would have caused it prior.
