Nintendo’s expectation of customers not being ‘entitled’ to Tarriff Refunds
As a result of the long-awaited refunds from Donald Trump’s tariffs, the Japanese game maker’s profits jumped. According to The Guardian, the company said profits surged 53.5% to ¥147.4bn (£694m) over the three months to June, substantially beating expert forecasts for ¥77.8bn. Despite Nintendo’s claim that the Switch 2 “maintained strong sales momentum,” it did not make up for an overall drop in sales compared with the same period last year, with revenue down by 10% to ¥517.8bn.
After filing a lawsuit weeks after the Supreme Court’s ruling and seeking a full refund of the tariffs it paid—plus interest—the refund appears to have come through. The game maker stopped short of confirming the full amount, even as it continues to resist calls to pass those refunds on to consumers.
A class-action lawsuit filed in April accuses Nintendo of raising prices due to the tariffs while later benefiting from the refunds. The company’s lawyers called the suit “meritless,” stating that customers received “exactly what they bargained and paid for.”
There isn’t much time for Nintendo to celebrate that long-awaited refund. Last month, Trump imposed a fresh round of tariffs on more than 80 countries, including Japan, which will cause more problems for companies like Nintendo. Four days ago, a Coalition of 25 states are suing the Trump administration over the levies, asking the US Court of International Trade to halt the tariffs and declare them them unlawful. This will potentially open the door to another round of refunds for beleaguered exporters.
