Many technology companies aren’t in favor of new tariffs against Chinese goods that have been proposed by President Donald Trump and his administration. Apple has filed a public comment, as have Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony – under a joint statement.
The three companies say that 96 percent of video game consoles imported to the United States in 2018 were from China.

Developers could also be impacted by the lack of new consoles sold since they would be selling fewer games.
