Nintendo’s Profits Jump $300 Million After Tariff Refunds And Strong Software Sales

Nintendo’s Profits Jump $300 Million After Tariff Refunds And Strong Software Sales https://ift.tt/qGf1OJR Back in August 2025, Nintendo increased the price of the original Switch console in accordance with ongoing tariffs, but after the US Supreme Court declared these to be unlawful, it didn't hesitate to claim a refund.
