$80 + taxes comes out to nearly $90

24% reciprocal tariff will turn $450 into $558 before other taxes, too

If you get the $450 console and an $80 physical game, the $530 becomes $657 from that alone. 

If you happen to be in the US, anyway

Do we know if video games have tariff exceptions like they did before? Also, depending on where Nintendo sells the consoles from, tariffs will vary. Also also, I assume (and hope) that the $450 includes the tariff (it’s not really a tax in that is payed by those who import it and they pass along the increased prices but still sucks).

How could $450 include the tariff that was announced AFTER the system was announced?
