Yeah, that's what makes this whole "Don't blame Nintendo, it's tariffs!" idea BS. If that were the case, it would only be this expensive in the US. Considering there's a Japan-only Switch 2 that's less than $350, it's pure greed.

Weren't the tariffs announced after the switch price was announced?

If so, the price in the US will probably go up before release date

[–] Glemek@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Tariff uncertainty has been in the air since the US election, it'd be wild for them to not atleast consider it in their pricing decisions.

[–] samuelwankenobi@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

The thing is the switch 2 price could still go up on top of the experience piece it is for people in the US (not American myself but yeah)

They very well might!
