That’s incredibly American thinking. Why would anyone else have to cover for your own import tariffs? Do I pay for higher prices in Brazil? They have very high tariffs on electronics too.
Maybe Nintendo of America doesn’t want international prices to be higher than international ones (adjusting for currency exchanges) because they’re worried about Americans ordering them from elsewhere (losing NoA sales). And Nintendo in Japan doesn’t care because Japanese gamers will pay anything for the next Nintendo console, lol
The world doesn’t really revolve around America though so I don’t know why they would treat it special. They’re a business, they exist to make money, not redistribute wealth.

It’s a large market. Nintendo of America might even bring in more revenue than Nintendo of Japan.
It’s the biggest market but also 1/3rd of global revenue only.
