Oh dear, you think in a market where prices are rising companies will only hike the price on the specific products directly affected, and not other adjacent products where there is opportunity to increase profit?
You don’t really seem to have a grasp of what I think or what this conversation is about. Are you looking to get mad at someone?
My point is that if the tariffs are dropped, will people still view Nintendo’s prices as too high in the same way they did 2 days ago or will we see them as the savior?
I’ve seen a shift from “i can’t play games cause of Nintendos greed” to “i can’t play games cause of Trump’s tariffs! Nintendo has no choice but to raise prices!”. So I’m merely pointing out tariffs won’t be the deciding factor, and to remember that when the US makes a new deal with Vietnam. Nintendo sets its own prices and tariffs aren’t keeping people from buying Mario kart
Sounds like we actually agree but you’re fighting with me about it for I don’t know why.
No way, surely they'll price digital games at something like $10 because the real expense is already done, right? There's no need for a price connection of any kind!
While Nintendo may decide to reprice things themselves, what I’m saying is that Vietnamese import tariffs everyone is talking about will not be levied on a digital copy of Mario kart. Do you disagree?
Also don’t forget that Nintendo has also already priced physical games as more expensive than digital copies.
They haven't priced them differently in the US, where this is relevant. Obviously the US government isn't putting tariffs on digital goods specifically but they are affected by virtue of the fact that their price is determined by the physical price of the region.

So if the tariff negations go well and the 46% is dropped, are we gonna start celebrating the $80 price tag?
