Japan should just hold back Nintendo and Sony videos games, systems, and games licensed for those systems. Americans would lose their shit.
Republicans want to control what games we play so this would make it easy for them

Exactly. People got super pissed when they realized they couldn’t order the S2. That made a lot of headlines.
You can currently buy the Nintendo switch 2 with relative ease in the US, but Japan could make that much harder.
Nintendo diplomacy
No, no I wouldn't. PC gaming all the way and never sony.
Yeah but enough people would.
In the US, Nintendo sold 1 switch for every 2.25 people. Japan could frustrate a lot of American parents during Christmas if they wanted to.
As I recall, consoles still eat up more of the US gaming market than PCs. And mobile gaming is still the fattest slice of the pie.
You think gamers are gonna get off the couch?
