Researcher DFC Intelligence cut its 2025 global forecast for sales of Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 video-game console, citing uncertainty over tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump.

The forecast would still make the Switch 2 the fastest-selling game console of all time, but it’s indicative of the widespread uncertainty that Trump’s tariffs have caused across industries.
