Should I buy a gaming handheld now before tariffs increase prices?
We've already seen the prices of several gaming handhelds go up in the last few weeks. If you were already planning on buying a gaming handheld, it might be a good idea to buy one quickly before tariffs cause prices to go up at U.S. retailers.
Another way to think of it is that the prices of Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, and Nintendo Switch devices aren't likely to go down under the current tariff situation, but they are likely to go up.
That all said, I never want to encourage panic purchases or reckless spending, so I'm not trying to tell everyone to buy a handheld right now, unless you're already considering it.
