Leading game companies Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft urge Trump to withdraw China tariffs in joint letter
The three leading game companies claim the new tariffs will have a"ripple effect" across the industry.
"In a single year , our three companies collectively sold more than 15 million video game consoles in the United States alone. Together, we currently employ nearly 8,000 people across the United States," the letter states. In May, Trump ramped up tariffs on China from 10 percent to 25 percent, affecting such goods as meat, tobacco, salt, minerals, fertilizers, soaps, plastics and video game consoles.
