President Trump discontinued plans for tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods but initiated a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, which heavily affects the gaming industry that relies on Chinese production. Unlike previous tariffs in 2019 that exempted video game consoles, the new tariffs impact these products, prompting concern from the Entertainment Software Association about potential adverse effects on the industry and American consumers. Experts continue to analyze the uncertain implications of these tariffs on product prices, especially for upcoming gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch 2.
It's not just that your console is going to be more expensive; it's everything around it as well.
Tariffs on video game devices and related products would negatively impact hundreds of millions of Americans and would harm the industry's significant contributions to the U.S. economy.
The full impact of the additional tariffs has yet to be seen; a lot of products are already in the U.S. waiting to be sold.
Will the tariffs impact the cost of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, which is currently in production?
