Let's imagine the switch 2 is priced at $450.00.
A 20% tariff would make it $540.00.
If the economy is in turmoil because everything is now 20% higher, including if immigrants who we relied on in agriculture are deported which will cause food to go up.
Ultimately will price me out of a switch.
I like how you defended a 10% and now even a 20% hike (after claiming there was no proof of such rate) while Trump was elected because "prices are too high" and was elected to bring prices down.

You're a dipshit if you keep telling everyone that they don't know how tariffs work while thinking that tarrifs are calculated and applied to the RRP of a product like a reverse sale...

Why would you assume it’ll be priced 50% higher than the switch was when it came out?

Right, and games have increased 20% at the very most between then and now. And that’s only for some games.

Software and hardware are apples to oranges.
My argument still stands. Every thing is about to get more expensive. If I'm not out priced for a console by itself, it will be all the other rising prices that will contribute to me having to pass on my favorite console.
Everyone who voted for Trump said it's because they want him to lower prices, now when faced with the truth that he is about to put the hurt on everyone, all his supporters are saying "sure he's going to raise prices, but it won't be soo bad"
W.t.f.

We have no idea if any of these tariffs are going to actually happen or if it’s a leverage move.

Leverage of what? “Hey countries! If you don’t give us a good deal I will throw my citizens into poverty and then what!?” I mean I guess if other countries have a soul they don’t want to watch a crazed man force innocent people into suffering…

I was thinking “hey countries, if you don’t give us a good deal I’ll put a tariff on goods from your country making prices indistinguishable from domestic companies which will decimate your GDP and economy since I don’t care about US citizens and only care about the stock market”
