Nintendo is being singled out because they're withholding the tariff refunds for tariffs they never paid and passed on to the customers. When the tariffs were imposed, no one really blamed Nintendo and knew it was the Administration's fault. If Nintendo didn't want sales to drop because of higher prices, they could have eaten the additional tariff cost until it all got sorted out. Had they done this, then they'd be entitled to that tariff refund money. Instead they passed on the tariff cost to customers, which sucks for customers but was really the only sensible thing Nintendo could have done given the circumstances, and most people aren't really blaming Nintendo on that decision. But now Nintendo is trying to have it both ways, not pay any of the tariffs and keep all of the tariff refunds which is why they're being singled out. It's pure greed on their part with blatant disrespect to their customers.
