🎮 Nintendo delays Switch 2 pre-orders in response to Trump tariffs /// Polygon

Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions.

Real world effects already being seen here. Not only will the price likely go up for Americans, other companies have already started layoffs due to the tariffs. Seems like a super productive strategy. Raise prices, raise unemployment, lower moral. Winning.
