In an industry that is already tanking a hit group, which is full of sixth and studio closures, the Japanese sports industry seemed to be an exception in 2025-as an analyst said last month, earlier this year, eight major publishers and students were made of five of these students.

Well, the rates imposed by the United States have begun to stop them all, it seems. Last week, the Trump administration imposed “mutual” taxes around the world. Japan is ready to tolerate 24 % tariffs that will be implemented on April 9 – which has naturally produced a huge dent in the stock market.
As the Japanese industry analyst Dr. Sarkin completely indicated The kurdsamus On x, many of them have been tolerated by eight companies The major losses of the stock market.
“Japan is Monday 10pm, where Japanese sports stocks currently react to these derogatory dumb prices,” Writes completely. During the day, VGC247 The market proceeded to monitor the stock until closed. The last number of April 7 was here:
- Nintendo: -7.85 %
- Sony: -10.4 %
- Cape work: -6.61 %
- Bandai Namko: -7.37 %
- Square Enxes: -5.62 %
- Siga: -7.29 %
- No texo: -5.41 %
Once again, it is clear that the increase of up to 24 % has not yet been effective-but after midnight on April 5, baseline tariffs have occurred worldwide. You may be thinking that those taxes are only affecting people who publish and prepare video games like Square Enxes. Okay
Companies like Nintendo and Sony are slightly more intuitive, as they also make consoles-such as switch 2, which has already delayed order for the United States on revenue-but anything was played. On Those consoles are also bound to be more expensive. And this is not just consoles: PC parts will feel the heat, even with discounts for semiconductors.
As mentioned in the article that I have just linked, a worldwide economy also produces its share… well, worldwide. The PC gamer’s own Jacob Radley explains: “When a semiconductor is developed and then packed in a separate system, it can be subject to a different tariff without any discounts, namely Aid in the card, computer or server rack.”
VG247 is also right to indicate that the US Video Games spend a lot of money on– In revenue of $ 46 billion in 2024 compared to Japan, which spent about $ 16 billion. This discrepancy can’t even help in matters – the task is that one of the biggest gaming speakers is about to spend very little on gaming.
Finally, this is a nightmare of the cause and effect, where the actual effects of these taxes – therefore applied ‘carefully’ and ‘surgery’ that the Trump administration, who has imposed a tariff on one. The uninhabited island of penguins and sealsIt is impossible to avoid logistically. At least, the Japanese sports industry is not alone in it – even board games are seeing the last end of the Tabletop Boom as a result. Unfortunately, we are all in very interesting times.
