It means it will cost consumers more money. Saved you a click.

Maybe people should be more focused on overthrowing a dictator rather than whining about Switch2 game pricing like a bunch of babies.

Let them eat circuses and bread and cake

I will never use Wired as a source for anything.

Genuine question, is this really the reason why? If it's between this (which I also feel is a pretty low point) and ads, I felt Lemmy would be full of the people who'd rather pay.

Saw on another post that the new price point they are looking at is $599. Nothing confirmed so take with a grain of salt.

I mean, if 450 is hit with a 24% (Japanese) tariff, you're looking at $558 at least. I'm not sure from which country Switch 2's are imported into the USA from. If Vietnam or Cambodia that would be crazy

That's the analyst prediction, not something that came out of talks behind closed doors.

[–] USSEthernet@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

Hence...grain of salt

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

The mechanism through which tariffs impact markets is through increased prices.
