TheGoldenEel posted... The root cause is of course Trumps tariffs, but these companies could choose to eat the costs while theyre making massive profits for the sake of customer goodwill.Playing devil's advocate again but assuming a company did decide to eat the cost, which kind of negates the entire point of tariffs being something that's meant to be felt, how long are they expected to do that and how are they to know those tariffs won't suddenly increase again and again? It's not as if Trump hasn't tossed out percentages at complete random day to day. --- http://i.imgur.com/szMsu.png Validate your purchases and discredit the purchases of others whenever possible.

WingsOfGood posted... you can't find it? pretty sure you should be able to buy one easilyFinding it is not the problem. I could have walked into any local gamestop, walmart, best buy or target and picked one up at anytime if I wanted. *I'm in rural SC and so this has it's benefits at times.* The issue for me was justifying the 450+tax for the like, 3 games I would be playing on it at this exact moment. I'm not a pokemon fan or a huge zelda fan nowadays and so I wouldn't be playing breath of the wild, tears of the kingdom, scarlet and violet, or the upcoming legends game. (Unless my bro decides to buy it for me as a gift like he did with legends arcues, so I played that one). If I had a switch 2 it would just be the pack-in mario kart world (a game that to be honest I don't even know if I would enjoy more than 8 deluxe in the long run. I wouldn't be into the open world thing that they tried for this game), DK bananza, and like fire emblem warriors (because of the performance boosts). I don't really use my switch in general for the majority of 3rd party games since portability isn't a huge priority for me and so I rather have these on the PS5/now pro instead. I do buy the occasional indie on the switch though, the games like dave the diver and possibly deltarune. (I also backed that mina the follower game and so plan on playing that one when it drops). Since these games release everywhere else they wouldn't be a system seller though, just something I would consider also buying a switch version for if I already had the switch itself. My nintendo priority is fire emblems, a potential new smash bros game, more 2D or 3D marios, and xenoblades, and so because these aren't a thing yet that was why I was originally waiting on actually getting a switch 2 right now. A potential future price increase now has me considering going ahead and just buying it even if I have to wait for those games I truly want to come out. --- GTag:MadDogg730 PSN:lMadDogg NNID:xMadDoggx NS friend code:5313-0564-0819 Go buy cyber shadow like right now. ...

Trump and Tariffs are a convenient excuse, the AAA gaming industry has wanted to jack up prices for years, and Nintendo's Switch 2 was a wildly successful test for this. Those prices will NOT go back down even if Trump sets all tariffs to 0% and keeps them there on pain of death. --- Time is a funny thing, you know?
