Gaming giants Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have penned a joint letter to the Trump Administration urging the removal of console games from a list of new products that may be subject to import tariffs if the trade war between the US and China escalates.
Console game consumers would pay US$840mil (RM3.48bil) more as a result of the US government's proposed tariffs, which would cause a net US$350mil (RM1.45bil) loss for the economy, the companies said in a public statement dated June 17 and submitted to the US government.
