Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might
dwev@lemmy.ml 2 days agoWell, Nintendo increased the sale price on NS2 in Europe and Australia to compensate for the tariffs in the US, so they could keep the end-user price down for US consumers even with tariffs. This effectively shifted the cost of the tariffs to European and Australian consumers, which is why I have sworn off Nintendo for good.

I get that Nintendo’s policy is fucking you and the good friends in Europe and Australia, but it still makes the title misleading. My (Japanese) government didn’t impose the tariff on Nintendo products — the Americans’ did.

Oh right - the journalist screwed it up. I just got angry about Nintendo’s response to the “American Import Taxes” I ended up grumbling about that. Sony did the same thing, so console gaming is becoming more ethically restrictive. :(
