Yes, exactly. Nintendo is +1, not +2
Everybody involved should be at 0 tarrifs. Why should Nintendo be +1 and all their customers be -1?
We weren't discussing "should".
That's the entirety of this thread, that if companies are being reimbursed, then people should also be reimbursed.
You are lost.
No, you are. Literally read the goddamn title of the thread.
Literally read the god damn content of the comments you're replying to.
Right, they went from -1 to +1 by recovering the tariff cost twice. (-1 plus 2 is +1)
Nintendo went from ~0 to +1.
They raised prices to negate the tariffs and keeping profits relatively the same. Now with them getting a tariff refund, they're getting +1.
Meanwhile customers are -1. Since Nintendo raised prices, we know consumers paid at least some fraction of the tariffs.
I'm going to say you're technically correct because the wording is "recovered" and not "profited". They're recovering it twice, and profiting once (when they should be at net zero)
