Nintendo has postponed preorders for its upcoming Switch 2, initially set for April 9, 2025, to evaluate the effects of aggressive tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump. While the global launch remains on June 5, 2025, the company is grappling with potential inflation impacts and rising production costs. Analysts fear these tariffs could lead to economic strain, prompting Nintendo to reconsider its pricing strategy for the console, which is priced at $449.99. The exact implications of production locations and possible price adjustments are still unclear.
Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions.
Many economists expect the move to cause a spike in inflation, with some warning of an impending recession, impacting how businesses like Nintendo operate.
