Short-term pain for long-term pain 😌
Thanks Trump. Saving everyone monies by not being able to afford to buy!
I actually also expect Sony to raise their price for PS5 again due to this.Â
Happy that I have a huge backlog.Â
$549 incoming…
Kill me
I’m straight up not having a good time right now.
We are working at least 40 hours a week and can’t even afford to play video games!
In before the thread is locked for being political even though this is directly effecting gaming. This is why it’s important to vote for competent people.
Everything has gone up I was looking at pre-build PCs some of them have jumped by $750 a PC you could buy last year or the year prior for under $2,000 is now near $3,000.
Straight up, fuck every single one of you who voted for this.
but hey, we’re great again! right?
Half of ya’ll voted for this.
Well a decision has to be made because I don’t think American consumers have the spending power to pay ever increasing prices for luxury entertainment devices.
Will be interesting to see what Nintendo does, 600 dollar switch is not going to fly for your average consumer, that isn’t something you buy for your kid for Christmas
I wonder how much it’s gonna be in CAD since we don’t got the tariffs? 🤔
You were complaining about 450$ well how about you pay 600?!Â
Geezus christ.
[removed]
but kamala was gonna crash the economy right? lol
This group of people tend to be pretty apolitical. The poke flute has been played.
You guys don’t understand.
This will bring all the Switch factory jobs to the US!
It will be $700 initially. In 5 years once the factory is here, it will be way cheaper, maybe $600 or so!!
Get ready for that $600 price tag.
Three days ago this would have been an amazing April Fools.  What if this is the straw that finally breaks the camel’s back?
UK in the 90’s we used to import American Snes cartridges (clay fighter) at specialist sores and they cost $100-$150 due currency exchange rates.
The cost of trying to de-industrialise America’s vassal states is going to cost the American public a lot in terms of protectionist polices. It goes from feeling exceptional to forgotten about.
You’ll pay more for the Switch 2 ( and everything else), Trump will pay less in taxes. That’s how these tariffs will work.
are ya winning, son? I was told there would be so much winning.
Yay my retirement account is down 20%, everything is going to cost 25% more money and I can’t even play the new Mario Cart!
Be sure to say thank you.
Pretty tired of all this winning!
We deserve this unfortunately. Braindead country. Braindead president.
2020: You can’t have PS5 because Trump mishandled the pandemic.
2025: You can’t have Switch 2 because Trump mishandled the economy.
This might be a good way to teach some people what tariffs are 😂
Those who make Mario Party impossible make Luigi Party inevitable
– JFK probably
Alright MAGA supporting gamers. Really winning right now huh
Imagine if they made a statement saying that selling in the US would be cost prohibitive. The Nintendo fans would overthrow the entire government in under a week.
I love this because alot of these subs are a “keep politics away” zone because for some reason they don’t think it affects their lives lmao.
Trump said he would do universal tariffs on the campaign trail, Kamala said Trump would do universal tariffs on the campaign trail.
And voters voted for it. He’s simply delivering on his promises.
Incredible that 77 million people voted for a man who told them straight to their faces he would do this.
Didn’t Nintendo move productions to Vietnam to avoid US tariffs on china. Now trump has put a 46% tariff on imports from Vietnam. Looks like US Nintendo fans going to have to pay through the nose for a new switch $650 ?
I’m sorry my gaming friends! I voted for the smart black lady. I wanted better for all of usÂ
Everyone crying about the $450 on Wednesday are gonna wish they could pay $450 😂
Slowly being priced out of my hobby . This sucks .
Every single US retailer needs to break out the tariff cost as a separate line item and not hide the price increase.
This is going to fuck all gamers, almost all electronics are made in places getting the highest tariffs.
This might bring together pc and console gamers for the first time
And trump supporters are still defending this what a joke
It’s going to be 650 fucking dollars by the time it releases
If its 450 USD now with an assumed 20% margin, and the tariffs add on 49%, that means effective cost to maintain the margin will have to have a price tag of at least $650
