That's assuming importers and middle men don't add on additional fees and I doubt they're going to be nice enough and only pass on the tariff percentage.
That's not really up to them being nice though. If you sell something of value X for a margin of 10%, and the price increases to 1.5X, then the margins must apply to 1.5X.
It's compounding for each element of the chain, so a 10% tariff would very much increase the price way beyond 10%, without anyone needing to be greedy about it.
I thought that was only the rumored price. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a price revision before release up to $500, unless they had already priced tarrifs in.
I've gone from almost certain a 9070xt and Switch 2 to probably nothing this year. Maybe not next year. Helps me stay disciplined I guess. I rarely play games that don't run a Steam Deck level hardware anyways

The Switch2 was supposed to be $399 but now we’ll pay a $50 Trump Tax on every one.

I remember the COVID-era supply line disruptions and the greed they brought. It never went away.

Greedflation! And economists finally agreed a couple years ago that the data proves it's a real thing that happened/is happening.

Then, if you take greed into account... good luck

Considering they're charging 80 bucks for mario kart world for a physical copy, well that's not going to be great either.

24% of $399 is more like $95

The tariffs would be on the wholesale price for retailers/distributors, not MSRP, unless a consumer is buying directly from a foreign retailer.

Pretty decent news for us non-Americans tbh.
It'd be a real shame if fewer GPUs are sold in the US and more supply hits shelves across the rest of the world.
inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 1y
Maybe.
I think however given the GPU makers as of late would probably use this as a cover to screw over everyone just that little bit extra.
