What do they mean by Japan's tariffs? It's not ours, it's the stupid Americans that's imposing them.
Well, Nintendo increased the sale price on NS2 in Europe and Australia to compensate for the tariffs in the US, so they could keep the end-user price down for US consumers even with tariffs. This effectively shifted the cost of the tariffs to European and Australian consumers, which is why I have sworn off Nintendo for good.
No, no, you don't get it. It's the other country that pays the tariffs.. duh.
In some cases 'they do' (they don't) as the tariffs imposed may well be enough to stop people buying X at 150-200% of normal price, if selling X to US was a big enough chunk of BizY's business, then that does impact the target country, not just US citizens.
In all cases US citizens hurt, but in a few the target country does too.
