Thread 714126920

Nintendo is increasing the prices of the switch, the games, amiibo and nintendo online in Canada.

How are Canadians coping? it'll likely come to all other regions as well.

Does OP think there's 10 year olds who frequent here or something?

>>714126920 (OP)
Canada is a test. If the consumers bare it they'll increase the prices everywhere else next.

>>714126920 (OP)
Another reason US needs to acquire Canada.

>>714126920 (OP)
> $100+ games

Can someone just carpet bomb every single megacorporation headquarters please, along with the owner's/ceo's mansions? Might as well throw all the multi-million+ shares shareholders in there as well.

Don't go full retard with your tariffs because you're mad at Orange Man and this won't happen

>>714127532
Mama mia...

How many maple bucks is it now for the console and games?

>>714128953
we dont know yet, they just announced prices are going up

People are saying NoA is also raising prices… watch out guys

So I guess controllers and digital games are cheaper there, which is an issue, if you buy the Switch 1 editions

>>714126920 (OP)
fuck, Canada was my alternative account to buy eshop

Canada is the designated test zone for corporate bullshittery, it'll be in the US within a year.

how are people going to blame trump tariffs for this one

>>714129810
>IF TRUMP DIDN'T MAKE US DO IT THEN IT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!
I don't know how they'll make it work, but they'll find a way and the Canadians will continue to eat it up.

>>714126920 (OP)

Welp. Better buy all the Switch games and OLED models you want by then.

>>714129101
>NoA raising prices
Won't happen. The autistic meltdown online in the states would be catastrophic for them and NoA knows this.

what is this marketing condition?

Lol

Canadian bucks aren't real dollars anon

>>714131498
the market condition is that Canada is a failed experiment

>Switch 1
Who cares

>>714131498
Nintendo has analyzed market conditions and determined that it is in their favor to have more money

The Trump Tax Hike already took affect. Amiibo used to be only $15.
The only difference is Canada has the decency to announce they're going to fuck you, America just fucks you.

Words really can not describe how much I rightfully hate Nintendo

>>714126920 (OP)
sorey but you will know what Nintendo is talking aboot

>>714131364
this. they will raise it everywhere except america if they have to.

Unironically Bidenflation lowering the value of the dollar.
All the money printing over his term added up.

>>714136828
why wouldn't it be real? you think daddy nintendo cares about anywhere but grorious nippon?

>>714137007
No I don't trust the Reddit watermark

US won

How will this affect preorders?

>>714133265
retardbro, Nintendo did announce the price hike on accessories in the USA like 2-3 months ago. it was the same day they announced the switch 2 price was not going to change due to tariffs.

>The US makes all the dumb decisions
>The rest of the world are the ones paying for it

lol, this is like blaming the architect for the twin towers for their collapse instead of blaming the retarded orange planes that crashed into them... twice.

canadians will blame everyone but themselves. they deserve another 10 years of carney

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA

If they were smart they would have moved to the states already

Go on…

Canadian here. I unsubbed from switch online like 2 years ago

>>714126920 (OP)
I fully expect it to, but the statement never mentions the price rising.
It would be funny if people got the console expecting a rise only for it to drop.

>>714137445
The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and Japan, China, and Vietnam are the same as they were years ago, and we don't have any new tariffs on any of those countries, there is no reason besides Nintendo deciding we can eat even more dick.

>>714137845
>there is no reason besides Nintendo deciding we can eat even more dick.
gotta keep those nip switches low price. a prease understandu.

>>714137383
It's not like that at all.
To cover government spending, which the Biden administration committed in abundance, more dollars have to be printed to afford their expenditures. Due to the fact that the US Dollar is a fiat currency, an overabundance of supply causes it's value to collapse, thus driving prices up.
Trump at least had the goal of cutting government spending so inflation doesn't keep going up. Getting prices down after the dollar has already lost so much value is extremely difficult, and would involve the economy going into a recession where consumers would stop buying at such a scale that companies would be forced to lower their prices to get people to buy from them again.

>>714137706
The crazy thing is it would make more sense to have a price drop that America doesn't get because of tariffs but we have been so conditioned by everything being awful to expect the opposite.

>>714131364
Yeah, if NoA raises the prices then that just creates a vacuum for Sony to control more of the market. Which is why Sony didn't raise their prices in America either because burgers are the only ones that buy Xbox.

>>714127223
you sound like someone who couldn’t finish mario sunshine and got filtered by Nintendos genius

If you think this is expensive, try to buy the hard copy of The Hundred Line in Brazil or anything digital lately.
>R$700+ the hard copy on amazon
>R$225 digital on sale
And we don't have the option anymore of buying it for half of the price in the eshop Argentina anymore because burgers exploited it so hard that Nintendo blocked Argentina for the rest of the world.

>>714136992
>>714137997
Technically it was Trumpflation since a majority of the printed money was part of trump's bribing the American people for votes during the trump virus lockdowns.

>>714137845
My guess is that this is Nintendo's response to the new digital tax that was supposed to go into effect today in Canada until Trump had a meltdown about it and caused Canada to pause it.

>>714138626
Shouldn't apply to hardware at all though.

>>714138626
why are we taxing digital goods

>>714126920 (OP)
> canada

Meh. Who gives a shit

>>714138624
No, it was definitely Biden creating thousands of more government jobs and projects to sink endless amounts of money into and create absolutely nothing with.
Inflation peaked in 2022, look at how much it went up over the meaty part of the Biden years.

>>714138818
the same reason we tax anything, to fund infrastructure.

>>714138983
Are brown people infrastructure

>>714138740
Broad stroke fuck you. It's NoA that Canada is dealing with, not NoJ.
>>714138818
Canada already taxes digital goods for buyers. The new law was to make tech companies actually pay taxes to Canada based on revenue they made from Canadians buying things like digital subscriptions or digital goods. If a company sold 20 million or something of digital goods to Canadians then they would have to pay 3% in tax to the Canadian government. Tech companies don't like when you try to take their money so they cried to Trump.

>>714138969
You do know inflation is a lagging indicator, right?
Clearly not, it was Trumpflation and billions he created out of thin air to bribe the American people during the start of the trump virus pandemic.
He even put his name on the bribe if you want the smoking gun.

>>714139183
so a check i got in 2020 didn't affect the economy until 2022?

thats fucking wild

>>714139421
Once again, lagging indicator. Also all the money didn't immediately go into the economy since most people pocketed trump's bribe until they needed to spend it, so yes it could take 2 years for the money printed in 2020 to get directly injected into the economy.

ESL living in Canada here.
Consoles are a scam, the PS5 pro is over 1100 CAD after taxes, switch games are over 110 after taxes, etc.

I don't care about Nintendo games and Sony is gradually giving up on exclusives.
Steam+GOG games and a decent mid-range PC are all I need.

>>714139767
but i didn't save it. i spent it on food and gasoline

so you're saying the money i spent in 2020 didn't affect inflation numbers till 2022?

>>714139183
>>714139767
Yeah, that ain't the case at all. Particularly when you can clearly see how inflation started dropping back to pre-2020 levels after trump cut a large amount of government expenditures.
A one time round of checks isn't going to cause inflation to skyrocket over several years, the consistent budgetary hike that Biden instituted however, will.

>>714138193
You're right. I was 11 or 12 when I tried mario sunshine at blockbuster and thought it was lame. I already owned an N64 and super mario and other games since I was 9.

>>714140609
>>714141178
First, anecdotal evidence.
Second, trump didn't cut government expenditures during the trump virus pandemic.
Third you underestimate the sheer amount of money trump printed out, it was almost $13 trillion. $5.2 trillion for COVID relief + $4.5 trillion for quantitative easing + $3 trillion for infrastructure just created without new taxes. This was also March 2021 before Biden's American Rescue Plan was implemented, so you can't even try and say it's combination of the two.

>>714142101
its not anecdotal that the money from the trump checks didn't affect the economy until 2022. because its flat out wrong you disingenuous retard

>>714142209
>It's not true because of my personal story.
Son, that's the anecdotal evidence 101. And once again, inflation is a lagging indicator, as more and money of trump's money got injected into the economy, inflation goes up. You'll notice it only peaks out in 2022 and starts coming down after that. You make it sound like it started in 2022.

>>714131752
>>714127532
Yeah. I don't have any so how could they be real?

>>714126920 (OP)
>Canadians
They don't give a shit, they will buy it anyway since they love eating shit in.

>>714142471
Y'know, it's funny you keep using the term "anecdotal evidence" when your argument is based entirely around the assumption that the majority of the country waited 2 years before suddenly spending their surplus checks, all the while totally ignoring the insane amount of spending during the Biden administration.

>>714139183
Could you divulge into the specifics of how this lag perfectly aligns with inflation skyrocketing the moment Biden starts taking action in office and settles back to the pre-Biden level the moment Trump takes action in office?
As seen here >>714138969

One, we already have studies showing that's what happened. It also dispelled the Republican myth that people were lazy and weren't working for work too.
Second inflation has been 'stable' since 2023, so if anything trump is enjoying the fruits of what Biden did since again, it's a lagging indicator.
Finally, /pol/ NPC talk.

https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/how-effective-were-stimulus-checks-us
>Within the first 10 days, households spent an average of 29 cents from every dollar received.
That means people sat on 71 cents per dollar and was more slowly put into the economy instead of the trillions at once.
This is where you poison the well.

>>714148674
That article was from before Biden was even president.
You haven't shown any actual proof that the massive amount of inflation was due to Trump's stimulus checks and not Biden's massive spending, that you still refuse to address.

>>714149183
>Moving the goalposts
Again, since you're intentionally ignoring it, inflation is a lagging indicator and all the money trump dumped into the economy wasn't all injected into it at once because people sat on average 71 cents of every dollar when they received it meaning it would have been spent going into Biden's term so that's why inflation rose.

I haven't moved a single goal post and you still refuse to address Biden's massive spending. You also keep saying inflation is a lagging indicator but haven't provided any proof of that either.

>>714151595
You did, also trump's bribes is what kicked off inflation no matter how much you want to whine about Biden.

Can I ask you a question?

What the fuck it's got to do with me?

When can Canada get developing country status so they can give us better prices like the chinks? America's about to fuck us in the ass, at least with developing country status we can get subsidized shipping rates.

>>714126920 (OP)
Nintendo will go out as the Wii U again.
All this is thanks to the EA Faggot they hired Doug Bowser. Kek.

>the trump virus pandemic
the pandemic he tried to stop, but was overruled by democrats to allow 5 trillion chinese agents into america, kicking off ground zero in new york? the trump virus lmao. it's 2025, revisionist history is over. the kung flu was made to get trump in, and give more ground to china in america. why they chose joe "corpse" biden as their in, i'll never know. he did so bad he gave trump a second historic landslide.

damn, his "trying to stop the pandemic" sure looks a lot like what someone trying to spread one faster would do.

>>714158929
the first thing he did was try to shut out foreign nations. the first thing democrats did was overrule him. shutdowns didn't work at all, just like the vaccine didn't do anything, nor masks. every single preventative used did absolutely nothing. meanwhile, sweden ignored it all entirely, didn't vaccinate, didn't lock down, and was back in business a month later. fauci isn't going to let you suck his dick. you got covid 30 times not because you got 50 vaccines, it's because you're a fat retarded slob that gets no sun, real food, or exercise.

>>714158929
Based Trump culling the weak and stupid.
Honestly though, every time I caught COVID, that shit was the most mild sickness I've ever had. Like literally an overnight cold.

Lefties trying to tie Covid and bidenflation to trump are definitely booty blasted.
Thanks for running Kamala :)
