Supposedly due to tariffs, Nintendo now has followed upon performing a price hike on its 2015 smartphone technology in a box called the Switch 1.

This is preposterous, even more now that the Switch 2 is out. What the fuck is going on? Say thanks.

Got what I voted for.
Buy an Xbox next time, retard.

they are doing the smart thing and increasing the price of a defunct system due to tariffs instead of increasing the price of their new system because of the tariffs.

>>717029042
Xbox had price hikes too. Quite a few.

>>717029135
Under Biden, who ruined the economy

>PS hikes
>Xbox hikes
>Nintendo hikes
It's never been more over

>>717029220
Please don’t bring up non-Nintendo consoles in my Nintendo hate thread. It’s only bad when Nintendo does it.

>>717028956 (OP)
I still do not understand why they are not discontinuing the OG Switch.

>>717029441
There's literally no reason to buy one now that the 2 is backwards compatible for everything. Plus when you do the system transfer, it moves all your digital games to the newer one. So if you want to actually use the OG switch you have to move them back. And why would you? They run better on the faster machine.

I'm planning on hacking my OG switch now that it serves no purpose.

>>717028956 (OP)
Nintendo switch never had a single price cut in it's entire life, and the yen is falling.

>there are people who still unironically exchange monetary currency for electronic entertainment devices that are not a full personal computer

Yes, it was 100% the tariffs that is making this happen, yes, it is all the tariffs fault.

>>717028956 (OP)
The future fucking sucks

Fucking retard.

only in the US. they wanted higher prices so they get them

>>717028956 (OP)
Switch games are free on my pc lol

>>717029220
You think it's bad now, wait until PS6 gets its price announced.

Crazy biblical times. The degeneracy and greed keep getting worse. They are all acting like they are about to die unless they keep hiking prices forever, while it's really the opposite. The people are dying, including NPCs, but these greedy (((rats))) keep on grinding peoples pockets.

(Bible here was used ironically)

>>717030162
you KNOW snoys will defend it

>>717030272
Not only that when you think you'll be smart and try to get a second hand video game box, you find retards are selling their cum boxes for 550 instead of 600 lmaoooo.
Yeah I'd rather pay 600 and lose the 50 than touch your fucking cum smeared controller bro.
Where are the timers where you could buy a 100-150 euro second hand game box?
The fuck is happening with these retards?

>>717030003

>>717030016
Why are you schizos so genuinely retarded?

The blue is literally from when biden was elected to when he lost. Look at the dates

>>717031568

I guess Sony doesn't have to ever worry about the Switch overtaking the PS2 sales.

>>717032197
But at least the prices of everything else went down.
>>717030959 Oh.

>>717028956 (OP)
>tariffs
The switch 2 didn’t hit the right numbers and parents are still buying the switch 1. This is why all switch models are going up in price, not because of orange wig man. If you don’t believe me, look at the previous history of Doug Bowser. He’s a precious supply chain expert at EA

>>717031942
It was quite literally posted and then deleted after they realized how bad it made them look by the official democrat party account

>>717032913
If the original source was deleted than it wasn't real to begin with. I.E disproven.

>>717032330
Neither of the parties in our country have us in mind. They are parasites sucking everything we make and earn away to mama bird into their corporate donor's mouths.

>>717033015
Lmao nice bait faggot

>>717028956 (OP)
>implying these niggas don't have warehouses stacked with consoles state side already.
Yes I'm sure they're making to order every switch in Vietnam as we speak. Get the fuck outta here

>>717028956 (OP)
The Switch is 8 years old, has never had a price drop, and was sold for at launch. Even with the retarded tariffs there's no way Nintendo wouldn't be making a decent profit on it. This is just Nintendo being greedy.

>>717034817
>sold for at launch
sold for a profit at launch

>>717029194
>>717030959
Got what I voted for.

money printer go FUCK YOU

>>717034817
>expecting less than greed from capitalism
Anon..... that's not how this game works.

>>717034945
What's even the point at that point

>>717035070
It's just to move any potential late buyers to a switch 2. Problem is that nintendo really wants to keep those double digit profit margins despite the fact that you need to pay for online like the other two console manufacturers. So they look equally as greedly as the rest of them.

at this point we need a World War to reset and balance the books, don’t we?

>>717032197
>massive government overreach ID requirements, bans, censorship
we're talking about america, not the UK

That's exactly what they're trying to do.

Get used to it, more tariffs are coming and de minimis is gone.

>>717028956 (OP)
>Market conditions
translates to
>We just broke the sales record so please stop buying the switch 1 and buy the switch 2

>>717028956 (OP)
>Supposedly due to tariffs
lmao
Nintendo would probably still be making a profit off the Switch if they sold it for 50 bucks at this point. They're just doing this because they know they can blame the tariffs and continue raping their consumers.

>>717033095
just admit you voted for an actual fucking retard since self destruction was your goal

>>717035502
That's exactly that they're pushing for.

>>717028956 (OP)
Damn, we didn't know how good we had it bros

Just buy a second hand one, there's tens of millions of them floating around north america

>profit margin on switch 1 is maintained, if not improved
>increased prices on old tech encourages simply paying a little bit more to access the latest platform
sinister

>>717038116
The fact that they moved the suspension of De Minimis up by two goddamn years to now happen almost immediately is an enormous fucking red flag.

>>717035502
yes, we send the whores to die and play vidya

>>717038512
"we price accordingly to value"

Shitch 2 does not

All that Trump being elected has shown me is that we all have to be 500% more Woke for the next 4 years

Just be really fucking insufferable to people like this, like yes, I genuinely hope all your favorite things become super gay and fucking poly or some shit

Fuck you

>>717033095
So you voted for the guy who jacked up prices on video games to found his personal pedo parties
Dumbass

>>717039337
GET HIS ASS AGAIN FOR ME!!!

So now that next gen consoles are priced out of normal consumer's market, and used PS4s stock every gamestop and still gets new games, is the PS4 just going to be the minimum standard for everyday games like COD, Madden, 2k etc for the rest of time?

>>717039278

Not that I have many games for it.

Is Trump unironically to blame or is it just Nintendo fans looking for a very convenient scapegoat?

It's Trump. He's completely ruined the country.

Oh shit sick burn!

I think Nintendo realized just how cult-like their fan base is and is aiming to squeeze them as dry as possible.

>>717040253
Trump's fault

>>717040337
Resident trans gigastacy JUN1PER called these people "the onions right." I think thats a perfect name for them.

>>717040253
Feels like we got same fagging going on, but trump is to blame because one of the first things he did was place tariffs (which are taxes on imports) on every foreign good (Tariffs are normally used to protect certain domestic markets, not to be used on everything) and because retailers will just pass the cost onto consumers, Nintendo did the same thing by raising their prices of their stuff to pay for the taxes trump imposed.

We're literally entering a great depression thanks to this orange shit head.

You've seen the channer consensus. Trump is to blame.

>>717040732

More fake outrage. Oh no the 8 year old console everyone already bought is more expensive now. Not a peep when series x and ps5 did the same thing.

>>717029220
>Valve doesn't hike
PC can't stop won't stop winning.

>>717040253
I'd rather have no one at the wheel at this point. Next 3 and a half years with no president, probably would have a better long term trajectory.

maybe you dumbshits should've fought back against Biden and Kamala being installed on the 2020 Dem ticket and setting up an impossible reelection for the Dems in 2024

but le vote blue le no matter who amirite???

If it’s worth anything there’s genuinely no way they can lose in the next one no matter who runs. Greater odds if they put up Vance for some godforsaken reason. Sucks shit now but it will get better

>>717040253
The tariffs are pants on head retarded, but Nintendo is just using them as a scapegoat to jack the prices up. This shit is ancient, they could be making a profit off it with a sub $100 price at this point, they're just greedy as all fuck.
Nintendo's going all in on "respect the value" aka "open your wallet and bend over"

>>717041286
I didn't vote for Biden though

>>717041325
Big same. We'll be saved and the adults can finally be in charge again.

Trump isn't the reason nintendo is charging you and arm and leg

>Inb4 but muh eggs

>>717041325
I want both to lose. I want the retards here to see through the corporate propaganda and stop calling the Progressive Republican platform of 1908 communism. I want worker advocacy. I want CEOs to burn. Fuck the elephants and jackasses who sold out to them.

>>717041140
See >>717041325. Pretty much everyone in the country is against the MAGA menace now. We'll get the sane, adult party back in charge soon.

>>717040253
it's all theatre

>>717041140
The only thing they have now is to gaslight Trump's support base to split up or abandon the movement.

They lost so hard they are attempting scorched earth tactics.

Why do you think the establishment media is gunning so hard on the Epstein story when they never gave a shit when Biden was in office?

so is this all just one retard or are we being raided?

Fanboys are just deflecting any and all blame away from Nintendo. It's just another Nintendo thread, it's how it goes. They can do no wrong, even though the Switch probably only costs $50 max to produce at this point.

It's just an excuse to jack the prices up to keep their sky high margins.

Yeah this is a raid.

Libshits think they have a flawless gotcha argument and will beat everyone over the head with it.

Damn no wonder 4channers have anti woke fatigue now, fucking retarded man babies voted for a fascist pedo who wants to destroy the economy because theyre just THAT afraid of a brown person in their media

>>717041826
It's been nothing dogshit from Nintendo in so many ways since the reveal of this thing. The signs have been there for the past 5 years. I really do wonder what it has to take for people to say enough is enough.

>>717040253
>Price hike specifically in the US, right after tariffs are now back in effect against Japan
It wasn't daddy trump's fault.

its all a moo point, really, the increase in wages that will coincide with the great success of the tariffs will even this all out

People like you give me nigger fatigue.

>>717041776
I just stated a fact dude. You deflect and don’t have an answer to what I said. Seems trump lives rent free in your head. And btw trump has been a massive disappointment to me in many ways.

>>717041876
I’m all for releasing the files. I’m mad at trump for holding back. No matter what, I’m sure we won’t get everything because someone is going to cover up what they find convenient.

No I can't, I'm a leaf. We get assfucked even harder than you guys pricewise. I'm not interested in a NS2 but I was at the store to get a screen protector for my OLED and I saw the price of MK World and DK Bananza were $107 and $100, and those aren't even subject to the stuff in the OP. I get that our dollar is worth less and I don't hate all muricans like some of my friends do but it is very expensive to live here. I primarily just get games I can play for a long time because of it in the rare instances I can afford one.

>>717040253
Nintendo hiked prices before the tariffs and politispergs are very, very eager to forget this.

Because the Switch is the cheaper, budget model for poor people and it's still getting games at least through 2026. No reason to cut it off while it's still getting support and people can warrant its price, but not the Switch 2.
