minus-squarewccrawford@discuss.onlinetoNintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo is probably "seriously considering" a Switch 2 price increase in the US, but former marketing leads "very hopeful" that it will ultimately "eat the cost"linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·4 days agoThose “former marketing leads” are former for a reason then, I guess. There’s absolutely no way that Nintendo is going to “eat the cost” on this. For one thing, the Chinese tariffs are more than 100%. They are certainly not going to pay to ship their console. But they’ve been pretty clear in the past that they aren’t about “loss leaders” and will charge what the console is worth. linkfedilink
