Nintendo Halts Switch 2 Pre-Orders Over Trump's Tariffs

New tariffs threaten massive price hikes on gaming hardware and other consumer goods

TLDR is that nintendo said that they're delaying pre-orders to adjust prices for tarrifs so $450 for the console and $80 games were actually the prices pre-tarrifs.
imagine paying $500+ for the privilege to play BOTW for $100 @starystulejarz @Stupid Clown

Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions

Greedy fucking goblins. This is why I buy everything pre owned thesedays and non digital. They're slowly taking that option away too and that'll be the end of era and gaming in general for me.

Nintendo is a Family oriented Company, these mindless faggots you mean make up 1/3 of their costumer base at most.

If the normal working man can’t afford the switch for his kids anymore the sales will plummet.

Same story happened to the 3ds and WII-U

The 3ds actually did pretty decent to be fair but I get your point with the Wii-U. I just feel that nintendos giga loyal consoomer base has grown a lot larger than it was during the Wii-U era due to the switch

Yeah it did well because they lowered the price and actually invested into the games

Unfortunately it'll sell well. Also if it's too expensive then Nintendo will sell at a loss like they did with the 3ds and Wii u. They aren't going to risk losing market dominance.

Yep. The primary market of Nintendo isn't families and kids anymore. It's adults with disposable income. Largely women. It'll sell well.

Normies spend like $700-1000 on an apple phone.

This is what I was thinking. It'll likely drain the battery life more. If switch 2 had native backwards compatibility and a better battery life while playing switch games I would've considered getting one. This completely shatters that desire.

It has.
