How many Switches sold in Brazil vs. USA?
How does amount of units sold in one country that decided to enact tariffs relates to prices of products sold between other sovereign countries? I would like to emphasise that world doesn’t revolve around the US and that US citizens democratically made it clear that they are no longer interested in attempting to make it so.
Did the price go up in Europe too?
As a Canadian, my experience is many products have traditionally been imported from overseas into the USA, and then redistributed into Canada, leaving us with exposure to their tariffs.
Suppliers have been trying to eliminate this middle step generally but I don’t know about Nintendo specifically.
We’re good for now, at least on surface. Given that Switch 2 prices in the US didn’t go up after tariffs it seems like we’re subsidising Yanks for some reason. There’s also Japan-exclusive region-locked Switch 2 SKU that’s about $350.
I'm not from the USA and neither is Nintendo but I'm sure it's one of their biggest markets.
Reduced sales will hurt. Nintendo has enough cash to eat the cost but that sets a bad precedent.
