The Nintendo Switch Was One Of The Top Black Friday Purchases This Year

Not surprising that Switch is the holiday ticket. The game deals didn’t seem as good this year to me though.

I wish I can purchase PS5 machine since I already have some PS5 games first. 😟

@Ryu_Niiyama well, I got Sonic Frontiers for ~$30 so I can't complain. Fun game, imo.

I don't like the principle of black Friday, but I couldn't ignore the opportunity to get a Switch OLED for £187

I got a handful of Series X games, as well as Horizon Forbidden West on PS4. I also got Pokémon Scarlet but that wasn’t a Black Friday deal lol.

Heading to year 6 and still selling like hotcakes. When Nintendo get it right they nail it. My only worry is that if they veer away from the Switch, they will get it wrong again. They do have form for it,

I already have an OG switch from day 1. I am however getting a killer 1440p monitor for my gaming PC today!! I can't wait!!

Got Pokemon scarlet and violet steelbook edition for less than 1 euro and also Immortals Fenyx Rising with all the extra dlc for about 25 euros 👌

Xbox Series S were on top too. Lowest price only 190 bucks in many countries.
Insane price.

@Anti-Matter
Don't worry, you'll get one eventually. They're becoming increasingly common now.

I managed to get mines bundled with Horizon Forbidden West, a second DualSense, and a charging station from Costco's website, of all places. The number of scalpers will definitely decrease.

Monster Hunter Rise was $20, so I decided to pick that up and see what the fuss was about. I was also able to snag physical copies of Persona 5 Royal and Digimon Survive (Switch versions of both) for half their retail prices each!

I might cave in and pick up a Switch OLED model next year, I spend most of my game time in handheld mode.

I need to get an OLED next year. My kids play on my Switch more and more hehehe. We don't have those kind of "Black Friday" deals in my country, unfortunately.

Have had one since launch. I did buy a Xbox Series S for $250 w/free $50 GC, some digital Nintendo eShop GC’s (BOGO 15% off at Target), and bought a few games off the eShop (Sonic Origins Deluxe, and Cruis’n Blast).

Didn’t bite on any OLED deals I figure a new Nintendo system will be announced within 1-2 years so I’ll hold out until then. I did grab a bunch of Series X titles…finally picked up Elden Ring and MW2 on sales. My Switch backlog is pretty hefty and I think I’m reaching my saturation point with Switch games. I’m really just waiting on BOTW 2, Metroid Prime 4 haha!…and likely whatever the next mainline Mario game is.

@Ventilator it's a great little system. The price cuts on it were pretty intense.

@betterman damn where was that from? What a bargain!

I didn’t mind Black Friday when it was just the Friday now it’s basically Black Friday week and the emails start a month before!

Insane how the Switch keeps chugging along. They really need to just call the next one Switch 2 or something and not mess it up in consumers' eyes.

Switch is still red hot in its sixth BF. Great to see.

They'll regret it when the switch pro gets announced next week

I initially misread the article title as "The Nintendo Switch Was One Of The Top Black MARKET Purchases This Year" and did a double-take.

Anyway, I feel that this should be how game consoles are treated, as viable purchases even six years or more after release. I know certain business factors would disagree, but I'm sure a lot of gamers would welcome purchasing a device without fear that their purchase would be considered obsolete a year or so later, especially those who purchased theirs late in the game.

While I didn't get a switch (already have one) I did buy a handful of games none for the switch sadly since the games I wanted were not on sale.. but I got 3 brand new 1 month old or less games for 35-50% off each.. saved about $100 on them (would have been more but I didn't have enough money to spare for more lol)

They were on sale?!

@datamonkey it was from Very, £329 with Pokemon Scarlet & Violet which I sold to Cex for £80 cash, and 20% discount for new customers. I constantly check hotukdeals, the best offers are always there.

@betterman I see, nicely done!
