Earlier today, Nintendo made an extraordinary decision to delay the default orders for Switch 2 in the United States to “make the potential impact of taxes and the evolution of market situation.” This news announces its plan to implement the Trump administration Steep and controversial taxes In all over the world, with countries such as Japan, Vietnam, China, Canada, Mexico, and the European Union, these trade fines are the worst. But although Nintendo may be the first company to solve the impact on these revenue production, the Trade Association of the Entertainment Software Association-video game industry represents most of its major publishers.
In an interview with IgnESA spokesman Obra Queen said prices are being announced on the same day because the pricing of switch 2 “was only unfortunately accidentally,” and that Americans “are not taking it seriously” if we think it’s just a switch 2 which will be affected by tariff.
“This is interesting with media coverage around the video games and prices, because only unfortunately the switches (appears 2 appears) was in accordance with President Trump’s announcement. There are many devices on which we play video games. And it is said that more, but as I was saying, we were just saying, Smart, Smart.
“Even US-based companies, they are getting products that need to cross US borders to make these consoles, make these games, and therefore the company will have a real impact, regardless of the company. It is a company-insost, it is a whole industry. It will have an impact on the whole industry.”
Queen added that she expects these rates to affect the “whole consumer ecosystem”, as high prices and volatility economy means that consumers are less likely to spend. IGN reporter Rabka Valentine noted that it would affect the company’s income, employment safety, research and development, and “even look like the next generation of consoles.”
Like consumers-and the media, for the matter-Kin said the ESA is still trying to find out how matters will end and how big it will be. Although the organization assumed that these prices were coming because of Trump’s past actions and campaign promises, he is not sure how the matter will eventually end and “not trying to get knee shocks.”
“We do not think that President Trump has announced this week that the story is the end, but this week was announced and the taxes that have been stated about it, we expect these taxes will have a real and harmful impact on the industry and hundreds of millions of Americans who like to play games.” “Our goal is to work with the administration, to work together with other elected officials to find a solution that does not harm the American industries, US business, but also the American concert and family.”
Fortunately, Quinn said relevant measures can take citizens that can affect it. Reaching your representatives-through letters, calls, emails, tweets, or other types of communication-is an effective way to ensure that they hear that their components are concerned. ” Queen also said that ESA members have met with the Trump administration, White House employees, and members of the United States Trade Representative, and are talking about their impact on these taxes and video games industry.
For months, experts have speculated that President Trump’s proposed rates will have a significant impact on the gaming industry. Although some people have the idea that these rates may be encouraged to manufacture companies like Nintendo in the United States, Nico Partners’ analyst Daniel Ahmed Identified That it would be incredibly unrealistic.
Ahmed said, “Nintendo will need to spend billions to open a factory in the United States.” “It will probably take 4-5 years to complete it. Do not mention the time and cost for the reconstruction chain infrastructure and source components (which will be subject to revenue because they are made out of the United States). Then they will need to find, train and pay employees to run the factory.”
