Message: [QUOTE="newageretrohippie, post: 171041, member: 72847"] Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the trump tariffs are a big consideration for the launch. Nintendo has moved much of their manufacturing to Cambodia and Vietnam. The tariffs on those countries were very high (48 and 49 % respectively) Nintendo's claimed value/cost per unit is evidently about $335, so the tarrifs on that put the cost per unit at over $500. Now it looks like all the tariffs have been temporarily repealed (except china). I believe the tariffs are unconstitutional, myself... anybody ever heard of the boston tea party, lol? I dont think they will stand and i think the switch 2 price might settle out at 399, especially if they dont fly off shelves at first... (but i'll prolly buy one, heh) [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/u-s-tariff-pause-could-give-nintendo-time-to-amass-a-switch-2-stockpile[/URL] [/QUOTE]
