Nintendo's delay in US preorders for the Switch 2 has raised concerns about the implications of President Trump's proposed import tariffs, particularly on gaming hardware. The Entertainment Software Association warns that these tariffs could have widespread repercussions, impacting not just Nintendo but the entire gaming industry, including consoles, VR headsets, and gaming on smartphones. The proposed tariffs may lead to increased prices for consumers and decreased overall spending, resulting in negative effects on industry revenues and employment.
There are so many devices we play video games on. If we think it's just the Switch, then we aren't taking it seriously. This is an entire industry.
It's hard to imagine a world where tariffs like these don't impact pricing for those consoles. Tariffs would tamp down overall consumer spending, affecting game industry revenues.
