Nintendo may sell the Switch 2 at a loss in the US due to tariffs

Nintendo has not historically sold its consoles at a loss, but that could change due to tariffs on imports to the US.

Another analyst, Robin Zhu of Bernstein, also suggested that Nintendo will take the hit and keep the price at $450 if the tariff on Vietnamese imports remains at 10 percent. Unlike Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo has not historically sold its consoles at a loss with the aim of making up for that with sales of pricey software. Soon after, Nintendo delayed pre-orders for the console in the US(it later did the same in Canada, perhaps to reduce the risk of secondary-market price gouging) to assess the impact of the tariffs.
