Man, Nintendo literally only recently finally integrated the ability to use voice chat into their system, after almost everyone else has been doing it for 15 years or so at this point.
And you think they can move everything in 2 to 3 months???

Dude must work in sales. That is an optimistic lead time.
And he already sold it to the customer without checking with product support of course
Oh my gods I feel this as someone who works in production.
And now its your fault that it won't arrive on time and the customer is pissed! They're on the phone now and want to hear from you why you couldn't hit your time line.
I worked at a place where it got so bad sales team refused to meet with us because they were pretty certain we were going to beat them up or something.
I don't think anyone actually threatened violence but there was certainly talk about keying their new flash cars.
How fast can a Japanese company move work to America to reduce import expenses?
Counterpoint: to avoid tariffs, how fast can American companies move out of America?
Companies aren't going to suddenly decide to spend a load of money to move production to the US without some certainty that the tariffs are going to last long enough for it to make financial sense.
There's a very good chance that Trump will cancel most tariffs this year and then declare that he's won somehow.
Even if Trump doesn't, he could die at any moment and Vance removes them.
Or the next administration removes them.
Yeah, They're not going to suddenly start spending. But they're going to plan a way to move offshores.
How do you think America lost manufacturing jobs in the first place?
Doesn't matter if it gets rolled back or not. We've seen this over and over again and the tariffs just make it even more attractive to move ship.
It's probably quicker for this person to move to Japan tbh
2-3 months is enough time to form a committee and establish the metrics that an acceptable plan would have to meet.
Sorry your plan failed at form a committee.
You forgot to form a committee to decide who's on the committee.
This is Japan we're talking about. I believe they require multiple late-night "socializing" meetings to figure out exactly what's going to happen. Then they just have a series of meetings to formalize what they decided on beforehand.
Even if Nintendo moved final assembly to the US (which they won't), they'd still likely need to import the components they don't manufacture themselves like the screen, battery, memory chips, SoC and what not, which then again would be tarrifed.
Building a basic factory is up to 2 years, depending on size, then you have to recruit all kinds of workers, many of which might not be readily available in a short notice of time, and might require college education. Manufacturing isn't just driving in the screws on an iPhone (which is more like glued together).
This is all assuming they'll use all US components, which are available, and at least higher-end US made capacitors are on the same level as their Japanese counterparts. The issue would be scope. Don't know what happened to that TSMC factory after Trump axing the CHIPS act. However, that "all American" Nintendo Switch 2 would cost a small fortune, and would be needed to be made much longer lasting that otherwise, since it's now incompatible with the notion of cheap and short lived products, which those on the top wouldn't approve.
Nintendo aren't going to move to America to get away from tariffs because they don't care. Their audience will buy the switch anyway, regardless of its price point and regardless of how much of that price point is affected by tariffs.
Also no company is going to move to America because of these tariffs because the Trump administration flip flops on an hourly basis. Who knows what policy will be next month let alone in 4 years time.
Even if they moved the factory into the US, wouldn't they still need to import all the parts, and get hit by tariffs on those parts anyway? Like, the whole supply chain would have to move into the US. That could be a decade worth of effort.
