Mat Piscatella of Circana said this is an unprecedented and "chaotic" situation as it relates to tariffs and their impact on video games, so anyone claiming to know how things will shake out may be speaking out of turn.

"All anyone can do at this point is speculate. We are certainly in uncharted waters here, and no one really knows what will happen next," he told GameSpot. "Obviously, the announced tariffs are having an immediate impact on the financial markets. And given the haphazard nature of how the tariffs are being calculated and applied, uncertainty is really the only certain thing at the moment."

Piscatella said there is "absolutely the chance" that the new tariffs or any additional future tariffs might amount to changes for US consumer products, and not just for Nintendo but for all players.
