Tariffs and Nintendo Switch 2
During its last Direct presentation In early April, Nintendo demonstrated more Switch 2 than when it was before. This included the disclosure of the opening date of the preliminary order on April 9, in addition to the initial starting price for $ 450. Soon after, President Trump announced wide tariffs for China and other countries, prompting Nintendo to postpone preliminary orders in the USA and Canada.
In cancellation, President Trump then announced 90-day pause for steep tariffs Having affected 75 countries, but also announced that the imposed on China would grow even further (right now it is on 145 percent)
Now we know that the initial price of $ 450 for Switch 2 will remain the same in the USA and Canada, but, based on his official statement, it seems that Nintendo leaves the door open for a potential future increase in prices.
We also know that Nintendo began to move some of its Switch production consoles to Vietnam In 2019. The increased tariff for Vietnam was supposed to be 46 percent, but, apparently, at the moment, it has been suspended in favor of a 10 percent tariff, which currently operates during the 90-day pause.
It was assumed that Nintendo will increase the production of Switch 2 consoles in Vietnam so that it can remain in the schedule, even if it Sells the console with a loss In the short term. It seems that the company will have to seriously increase production in order to keep up with Switch 2 demands: According to Nintendo, 2.2 million people entered the preliminary order only in Japan, which is a much larger number of devices than expected that in this region it will be delivered to this region on the day of launch.
