    Did Nintendo even raise the price of the Switch 2’in response to tariffs?

    I thought they announced pricing before Trump even did any tariff nonsense and it remained the same afterwards, but maybe I’m mis-remembering

      No, the hardware stayed the same price it was announced at. What did go up was every accessory and controller.

      They raised their prices on the switch 1 and priced the switch 2 based on the threatened tariffs before they were enacted. I think some of the switch 2’s game pricing might also have been affected by tariffs but don’t quote me on that.

        No, the Switch 2 did not include tariffs in its initial price unless the price went up in America after launch.

          That’s not what I said. What I said is that the price of the switch 2 was influenced by tariff talks before tariffs were enacted.
