Nintendo aren't going to move to America to get away from tariffs because they don't care. Their audience will buy the switch anyway, regardless of its price point and regardless of how much of that price point is affected by tariffs.
Also no company is going to move to America because of these tariffs because the Trump administration flip flops on an hourly basis. Who knows what policy will be next month let alone in 4 years time.
by the way this section of the warehouse is now an american embassy, and therefore the product is finished on american soil thanks
Man, Nintendo literally only recently finally integrated the ability to use voice chat into their system, after almost everyone else has been doing it for 15 years or so at this point.
And you think they can move everything in 2 to 3 months???
Xbox had voice chat back in 2002. 23 years ago.
Well there you go!
Is 2 to 3 months too little or too much?!?! - MAGA supporter
Dude must work in sales. That is an optimistic lead time.
Yeah, this is absolutely delusional.
Even... if all the tariff insanity weren't going on, even if Trump had lost the election...
The answer to this question is right, if you add about an order of magnitude.
20 to 30 months, ie, about 1.5 to 2.5 years.
And that is arguably still an optimistic time frame, and just... waves away all the 'would it actually make sense to do this' considerations.
And he already sold it to the customer without checking with product support of course
Oh my gods I feel this as someone who works in production.
And now its your fault that it won't arrive on time and the customer is pissed! They're on the phone now and want to hear from you why you couldn't hit your time line.
I worked at a place where it got so bad sales team refused to meet with us because they were pretty certain we were going to beat them up or something.
I don't think anyone actually threatened violence but there was certainly talk about keying their new flash cars.
You gotta laugh at customers who believe sales promises.
How fast can a Japanese company move work to America to reduce import expenses?
Counterpoint: to avoid tariffs, how fast can American companies move out of America?
It's probably quicker for this person to move to Japan tbh
Time to build a wall to keep the smugglers out
2-3 months is enough time to form a committee and establish the metrics that an acceptable plan would have to meet.
Sorry your plan failed at form a committee.
You forgot to form a committee to decide who's on the committee.
This is Japan we're talking about. I believe they require multiple late-night "socializing" meetings to figure out exactly what's going to happen. Then they just have a series of meetings to formalize what they decided on beforehand.
Then they gotta print and fax all the documents from those meetings for record keeping.
I could get it done tomorrow
Elect me and I'll do it in 24h.
I'd prefer you spend the first 24 hours on peace in Ukraine or Gaza. Maybe save this for day 2?
So you're the one that outbids me in all my proposals.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present your average american.
Nintendo moving production to USA in 2-3 months? Only by USA invading Japan and adding it as 51st state lol
Not even that, the processor, electrical components. Maybe the screen? All sourced globally. Like a big spider web.
Even if they drop billions to tape the chip out again, and move to Intel (heh), the chip production isn’t movable even in a decade. Intel's fabs are all over the planet.
Way cheaper to just eat the tax and mark the Switch 2 up 50% in the US, then let the smugglers do their thing.
You forgot one crucial step:
Renaming Japan to "New Ohio."
That guy knows nothing.
at least two
