Although Nintendo's basic policy on tariffs is to treat them as a cost and factor them into prices, Furukawa also emphasized the need to sustain the momentum of Switch 2 sales and to make sure that the new console is widely adopted. Therefore, Nintendo will carefully consider various factors when changing any pricing, including its acceptability to customers. Jeffrey Grubb, how fucked are we?

Which is one of the stupid things that we're sitting here saying like, oh man, okay. At least it's reasonable when it's still not reasonable what's happening. Exactly, yes.

Yeah, of course, just to give you a quick glance at that, New York Times reporting today, U.S. and China agree to temporarily slash tariffs in bid to defuse trade war. The United States and China on Monday took a step to defuse the trade war between the world's two largest economies, agreeing to temporarily reduce the punishing tariffs that have imposed on each other.

The move by the United States after President Trump had repeatedly declared that he would not lower tariffs without concessions from China represented an acknowledgement of the costs of an all-out trade war with China.

Despite the White House's bluster, the Trump administration ultimately backed off, for now, from its steepest terrace and agreed to hold more formal talks with Beijing after companies and consumers started showing signs of economic strain. To your point, though, it's a temporary pause. And I think that's like... I said something...

I guess when the tariffs first got announced and Nintendo delayed the pre-order, I don't know, somewhere in that conversation, I said, I was like, I just feel bad for Nintendo that they announced this on the day Trump announced this. And it was like, oh, don't feel bad for this corporation. Don't feel bad.

And it was like, oh, don't feel bad for this corporation. Don't feel bad.

And I'm like, well, again, I don't feel bad for the corporation as much as the people who worked for years on this goddamn Nintendo Switch and got it to the cheapest price they could while still making a profit. And we're like, this is going to be great and people are going to love this toy we're making. And then they put it out and then this shit happens.

And then now there's still a moving target. Like, you're talking about this is a 90-day pause, so it's not even they can lock it in. I thought it was so telling when they finally put up the pre-orders and were like, hey, this is the launch price of the Nintendo Switch 2.

They kept saying this is what it's launching at, which to me leaves the door open, of course, that if the world gets crazy after the launch, they're going to have to change this. Is this the cheapest we'll ever get a Nintendo Switch 2 for?
