At long last, the Switch 2 is almost here, and pre-orders have been flying off the shelves worldwide – despite the initial cries from many to "drop the price." But if you thought the new console was pricey now, some analysts have warned that there's "a real risk of further price increases in the United States."
To see that tariffs were having an immediate impact on the Switch 2 situation, you need only cast your mind back a couple of months to Nintendo announcing that pre-orders were being delayed in the United States "in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions." Although some feared an immediate price increase could be on the cards, this didn't happen (even though certain accessories did get a price hike).
