Here's what I said about the Switch 2 as well. Unlikely to see a price increase this year, but could see one next year.

I raised the alarm months ago that all 3 console manufacturers would raise prices, which they did (PS5, XBS, Switch 1).

As an aside, Nintendo also explored raising prices on Switch 2 when tariffs were temporarily at 10% for Vietnam. Now they're at 20%.

This is definitely impacting margins for them. While they may not be willing to raise prices right now, I can see them reconsidering next year.
Said it would happen.

Even though Sony is diversifying away from China (for US bound shipments), it's still an important manufacturing center for Sony.

30% tariff on China, 15% tariff on Japan, 20% tariff on Vietnam, 19% tariff on Malaysia means Sony is impacted no matter what.
