Thanks Trump! Way to think that through and decide to tax everyone.

I am surprised by this, I assumed that with the Switch 2 out, Nintendo would be done making Switch 1 consoles and just selling what they have in stock. If that was the case, Nintendo would be cutting prices to clear out warehouses and reduce storage costs.

The fact that Nintendo is raising prices means that they expect to sell every single Switch they have and will need to bring more into the country (so they are going to be hit with rising material costs to manufacture and then tariffs).

Nintendo tends to keep their previous-gen as a budget option. Wii Mini launched as Wii U was coming out, same with New 2DS XL and Switch.
