New duties introduced by the US President Donald Trump They will negatively affect the game industry, warns American organizations Association of entertainment software (ESA). Consoles, games and computer equipment can become more expensive, because these products are most often produced in China and Japan. And it was these countries (along with Europe and Vietnam) that Trump called one of the worst. Products imported from China left customs 34 %, 24 % of Japan, 20 % of the European Union and 46 % of Vietnam.
Obri Quinn, senior vice -president of ESA, recalls that gaming equipment often consists of components from different countries, which means that the only product can be affected by several different responsibilities.
“This is definitely not the end of history. Not only for the United States, but also for other countries. ” warned Quinn and added that Buried states can answer with their own dying American products, which can make the situation even worseIn the end, China, Japan and Europe are preparing retribution in the end. China has already decided for an additional fee of 34 % for all goods from the United States. Meanwhile, Trump called for individual countries to come up with a fair proposal about the post.
Trump is trying to make more goods produced in the USA. However, Kuinn opens against the fact that the supply chains are complex and cannot be moved on day a day.
“Each company and each industry should think about customers, employees and long -term business stability. Changes in the chains of suppliers cannot be made immediately, and they should not be made in response to one political decision. ” Kuinn said.

In addition, Nintendo is reported, among companies that have been sending several products to the United States in recent months to make a supply. It is this decision to protect the manufacturer for some time and not to force him to significantly increase the price of his goods. But when the consumables are over, new responsibilities will be forced to move to American clients. U Switche 2 can be evaluated increase the price by 49 %The field in this way, the console will be sold for $ 670.
