"If the 20% tariff goes into effect, Nintendo may opt to bump the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 from $449 to as much as $550"

..or, Nintendo could just eat the cost of the tariffs (since there is an already price hike to the NS2 compared to Japan's price; 49,980 yen = $334 in Japan vs $449 US); or the units that is shipped to the US, uhm... Nintendo could build those units in the US which equals no need for tariffs and Nintendo will also have a huge investment in the US... win-win!
