outsource cheap labour to Asia

You do know that Nintendo is a Japanese company, right?

The whole protectionist angle doesn't really work when we're talking about products that do not (and cannot) have domestic alternatives.

    Cannot? That’s super defeatist. US had pretty good electronics manufacturing capability until somewhat recently.

    Literally cannot without breaking IP laws. Do I really need to explain why??

    Go ahead and manufacture and sell your own Switch hardware and see what happens.

    How did you come up with the idea that domestically produced hardware would have to be produced independently from Nintendo and not just Nintendo of America? xdddddd

    Nintendo is a Japanese company that is known for being very traditional, and have manufactured their products in Japan for like 100 years.

    Financial considerations aside, they would just never move to the US. Especially over some demented Mad King making up random tariffs that could vanish at any point. It's just not happening.

    So the only way you're getting a Switch manufactured in the US, is if you break IP laws. That was my point.
