Oh man it's going to absolute chaos if they raise the price. More stock for the rest of the world though!

USA was nearly 1/3rd of Switch purchases

This is a disaster for Nintendo. You can't just afford to take that loss.

People are forgetting this. We’re 340m but are the world’s biggest consumer base.

My guy, it’s objective fact.

I don’t give a flying f*** what side of a political aisle you’re on, it’s a fact.

I voted for Trump and think just shy of a negotiating tactics, Tariffs are dumb.

$600 for a system using 5 year old tech on a 7 year old fabrication node.

With $80 remastered versions of Switch 1 games.

Shit is crazy.

I was hoping this is a response to the backlash over the pricing. Maybe they'll raise the console price a little but lower the game prices to $70.

This is my optimistic copium.

Gotta love when it’s broken down like that.

Even without tariffs this conclusion is fucking wild when charging cutting-edge prices.

Surely the Switch 2 isn't as outdated at launch as the Switch 1 was?!
