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. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.

Wonder if the price of the console and even the cartridge games will change.

I think they necessarily will. I can't imagine retailers eating the lost margin.

Retailers won't eat it all, consumers will

More like retailers won't eat any of it and will take the opportunity to raise prices even more because they know consumers are expecting higher prices and they have pressure to retain or increase their margins to meet shareholder expectations.
