Nintendo’s launch of the Switch 2 on June 5 coincided with President Trump’s announcement of universal reciprocal tariffs, creating uncertainty for the company. While Nintendo successfully sold over 3.5 million units in its first four days, it had to navigate the complexities of tariffs affecting production in Vietnam and China. Although the company paused pre-orders to assess the situation, it ultimately proceeded with its launch. Moving forward, Nintendo faces challenges in meeting holiday demand amid fluctuating trade relationships and potential tariff reinstatements, which may impact its supply chain and pricing strategies.
