Nintendo’s Switch 2 launch has been marred by controversy, with tariffs playing a significant role in the company’s decision-making process. The US and Canada have seen pre-orders postponed due to high tariffs on gaming consoles, but recently reduced tariffs in many countries mean the new console will now be launched at a lower price.
Analysts at Niko Partners predict that Nintendo may absorb the 10% tariff for the next 90 days to maintain a launch price of $450. However, if a higher tariff is imposed after this period, prices could increase significantly.
The company has yet to announce when pre-orders will go live in North America and Canada, along with any new pricing information. Until then, fans remain eager for updates on the highly anticipated Switch 2 console.
