Switch 2 preorders delayed over Trump tariff uncertainty

Nintendo has announced that it is delaying the US pre-orders for its new Switch 2 console, which had been due to begin on 9 April, due to the financial uncertainty caused by the announced tariffs on goods imported into the US.
The company said it would be delaying the pre-orders “to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions”.
The US launch date for the Switch 2 is unchanged at 5 June, but Nintendo has not announced any delays to pre-orders in other countries.
The delay comes after a day of official Nintendo live-streamed gameplay, during which gamers vigorously voiced their objections to the $450 p r i ce t a g f or t h eco n so l e, an d t h e$ 70-$80 price for its software.
Nintendo will now be considering whether even the announced price is feasible, or whether it will have to make up the expected additional costs through software sales.
