A report The Nikkei, is raising concerns about the potential pricing of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. The report suggests that the new console, likely to be manufactured in China, could face a significant 145% tariff upon entering the United States market. This substantial tariff hike could drastically impact the final retail price for consumers, potentially making the Switch 2 considerably more expensive than initially anticipated.
Such a tariff could stem from ongoing trade tensions and policies. If implemented, Nintendo would likely have to absorb some of the cost, pass it on to consumers, or explore alternative manufacturing locations, which could further delay the release. This news has sparked debate among gamers, with many expressing worries about affordability and the competitive landscape of the console market. Official confirmation from Nintendo regarding manufacturing locations and potential pricing strategies is eagerly awaited.
