Reminder:
1. 20% China tariff impacts video game consoles, smartphones, GPUs, laptops etc.
2. 25% tariff on Mexico impacts physical video games.
China is where most hardware continue to be manufactured, same for Mexico with discs.
Despite mitigation efforts, US gamers may end up paying more.

Here is what Newegg said last month about the 10% tariffs, which are now 20%.
