According to an official Nintendo statement, the EE. UU. For Nintendo Switch 2 have been delayed until some moment after the original date of April 9, while the company expects and sees how the change of mass economic policy changes the market.
The statement, published to press, says the following: “The early orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the US.
On April 2, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced a vast collection of tariffs for countries around the world, including, among others, Japan and Vietnam. Japan is where Nintendo is based, of course, but it is not where manufacturing is carried out. Much of the production for Nintendo hardware occurs in China, and perhaps the most important thing in Vietnam, being the latter where the company relocated part of its manufacture in what a source said that it anticipated the US tariffs that were placed in China. Vietnam is among one of the countries most affected by recent events, being beaten with a 46%tariff. Meanwhile, China has been beaten with an additional 34% rate on what had already been imposed. As a reference rate in all goods, this would certainly affect the imports of the Nintendo Switch 2.
This announcement follows the great economic agitation worldwide, since Wall Street Brockerage JP Morgan increased its recession risk percentage up to 60%, something that could affect sales in the United States. Economies around the world have also been affected by the announcement of the rate, with changes in imports and exports to drastically change the predicted growth in all territories.
What this could mean for you US readers sitting at home is that Nintendo Switch 2 could Retail at a higher price than I expected. This, obviously, is not good news. Especially at a time when money is already tight and the cost of living is quite brutal in all areas. Unfortunately, we will have to wait a little longer to find out how bad consumers will take us from a blow.
