New Bloomberg report He suggests that Nintendo will be able to “build millions of consoles” sent from Vietnam to the United States before the June premiere of Nintendo Switch 2. This is based on data provided by the global company of commercial data analysis and NBD customs analysis, which showed that Nintendo has sent more Vietnam consoles in February than “in the last six months”, reports Bloomberg.
Almost the entire production of Hosiden Corp. – One of the three Nintendo Switch 2 assembly companies has been sent to the United States since January, to Bloomberg’s data. The jump was from 11% to “two -thirds in the last 12 months”. This is good news for Nintendo, which until Wednesday faced 46% of President Trump’s tariff on imports from Vietnam. These tariffs are 90-dayexcept for the universal 10%tariff; This holding may not last forever, but it gives Nintendo time to send tons of consoles to the United States. Bloomberg said that “more or less a third” SWITCH 2 consoles is mounted in Vietnam.
Indeed, President Nintendo of America Doug Bowser said CNBC This week, several Switch 2 consoles are already in the United States and ready to work.
Nintendo moved part of his console from China, to Vietnam and Cambodia during the first Trump administration – a movement that will protect the company from 125% Trump’s tariffs for Chinese imports. Trump’s announcement 46% of tariffs for Vietnam items caused madness in pre -sale Nintendo; On the day of Nintendo, it announced a console price of USD 449.99, Trump administration announced tariffs for dozens of countries, including Vietnam. Pre -sale orders were to start on April 9, but by April 4 Nintendo delayed this process for an indefinite period.
“Preliminary orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the USA will not start on April 9, 2025 to assess the potential impact of tariffs and the evolution of market conditions,” said Nintendo in a statement for Polygon. “Nintendo will update time at a later date. The date of launch on June 5, 2025 remains unchanged.”
With tariffs for pause – for now – Nintendo has time to build its stocks; Analyst Bernstein Robin Zhu told Bloomberg that if the tariffs remain at the level of 10%, he does not believe that Nintendo will raise their price. Nintendo has not yet announced a novel date for pre -sale.
