Nintendo has always been greedy.
You might want to check your math. Also, the tariff is on the wholesale price, not the MSRP.
Leaving out the tech demo price, we're talking about price of hardware here. I guarantee they have slim margin on hardware out of the gate on a system. Eating high tariffs means losing a lot of money per system. They're better to just never release the switch 2 and move on.
One would assume they would need to increase prices as well
Yeah, Sony should be more in line with the Chinese tariffs.
I believe that the government has waste and fraud. And it should be fixed and be transparent.
They dont sent their best...My guy put a map where Czechoslovakia was still a country and Germany was split in east / west
Was double checking to see if I could spot the Prussian and Mongol empires, maybe Roman too
Or release the system at a slight loss and make up the difference on game sales, which has been done in the past by other manufacturers.
Its not crazy difference, just checked, console is 800€ new, discdrive 130€ so 930€ aka 1019usd so 32 usd cheaper vs polish price, not worth importing obviously, and that wont make polish salaries bigger
MS can have some hope of being given exemptions for certain products like Apple were during the first Trump administration.
Bruh, it's a map of everywhere communism has taken place in the past and currently.My guy put a map where Czechoslovakia was still a country and Germany was split in east / west

What did you say?
1. It won't be a slight loss with the size of the tariffs,
A guy who is actually a self made Billionaire and the riches man in the work, A man who legit has built Rocket companies and doing what Nasa could not, A man who leads multiple multi billion dollar business? IS an idiot?
Yeah, even if we pretend this thing costs say $350 USD to manufacture and get to retail, that's a $70 loss on every unit. You're not making that up very quickly. And it probably is more than $350 if we're being real.
We live in some kind of parallel Earth time line. Not to go conspiracy theorist, but it feels like an unseen force, is pushing us into a major conflict.
And you can even read it here, it's fucking crazy honestly
It's unreal they actual think this.
Don't forget that they are willing to sell the hardware in Japan for $399, given that, $350 USD to manufacture is probably pretty accurate.
Trust me, you don't want that.
I think it's reasonable but I'd just repeat as in my original post that it hasn't been tried under these circumstances or scale.
This is something that can't be quantified. I live in the UK in an area that has lost so much. A Panasonic TV Plant, a massive chemical refinery and soon to be one of the largest steel works in Europe. This has all happened without imposing tariffs. Germany is currently at 0% growth, France and the UK just slightly above 0%. What has been the cost of deindustrialisation to the American consumer? Like Europe real wages have barely grown since the 1970s. At least 100,000 jobs in the UK have gone through the loss of steel production as a result of cheap Chinese steel. Of course, if we put tariffs on China it would increase costs but not having tariffs has lead to huge job losses, so its not as simple when calculating costs to consumer. Somebody who lost their job is a consumer.
They also fucked up by annoucing a price and pre-order date less than 24 hours before they knew tariffs were going to hit.
The question is are these tariffs permanent or is he willing to renegotiate them. He said today he's open to it.
Detroit was built in the post-WW2 era where the United States was the only major power to survive relatively unscathed along with a massive manufacturing base from the war effort.
Fuck no lol.
I think as long as they had their launch price and messaging right, they had a slam-dunk launch no matter what they launch with.
his dad owned an emerald mine in south africa. He made none of the innovations he claimed to have made and none of anything he's had a hand in has improved or revolutionized society for the better. he's a con man and he's successfully got you to drink the koolaid.
People buy from scalpers at dumb prices, they will pay the tariffs. At least some. They should still supply them buy maybe just less for less demand. But the demand will be there for at least that limited amount
Manufacturing isn't coming back. Ai and robotics will make sure of that
