    The Switch2 was supposed to be $399 but now we’ll pay a $50 Trump Tax on every one.

      That’s assuming importers and middle men don’t add on additional fees and I doubt they’re going to be nice enough and only pass on the tariff percentage.

          Greedflation! And economists finally agreed a couple years ago that the data proves it’s a real thing that happened/is happening.

        The tariffs would be on the wholesale price for retailers/distributors, not MSRP, unless a consumer is buying directly from a foreign retailer.

      I thought that was only the rumored price. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a price revision before release up to $500, unless they had already priced tarrifs in.
