How does amount of units sold in one country that decided to enact tariffs relates to prices of products sold between other sovereign countries? I would like to emphasise that world doesn’t revolve around the US and that US citizens democratically made it clear that they are no longer interested in attempting to make it so.
They need to make up lost money somewhere. It’s probably easier for them to raise prices everywhere than raise US ones even more. Especially since a Canadian switch is the same thing.
So price increase in the US due to tariffs, as expected, but they raised the prices in Canada too? What kind of bullshit is that? Fuck you, Nintendo.
That’s how tariff pricing always works. Doesn’t matter if the tariff pricing affects them or not, they’ll raise prices as much as they can.

Reduced sales will hurt. Nintendo has enough cash to eat the cost but that sets a bad precedent.
Do they lump North America altogether?
It’s possible they ship to Canada via USA
