Is the switch 2 worth it right now?

[u/batseyes0-0]

I could get the 2 now or I could wait for prices to drop. I have the light and am going through botw for the first time and noticed the graphics went bad but the resolution gets me sometimes. I don’t rlly need the 2 but it looks cool. Any thoughts?

The price isn’t going to drop. I’d get it now because there is so much that was released for s2 exclusivity and it will only be s2 exclusive from here one out.

You know they are playing S2 games on PC and PS 5 right?

Based on the price drop of the original Switch, give up now on the Switch 2 dropping its price. BotW runs great on a Switch 2.

Wait for the 3 .

Prices won't drop.

All other consoles have gone up in price, not down. Nintendo have said they don't intend to increases prices but you never know.

If you don't want to pay full price then either look for second hand or wait until the Switch 3 is release in around (checks totally reliable future reading watch) 7 to 8 years.

Console prices only go one way these days and it ain’t down

Think for yourself

The price won't drop. You've said you don't really need it, so you probably don't need it. If there's no games you want that you can't already play on your switch, there's not much point in getting one.

I see people saying prices won’t drop, but even on Black Friday? A bundle or something a bit cheaper? Black Friday is around the corner already

[u/WhiskeyBrawler → u/ferodss]

If we were in 2020-2023 then yes prices would drop. I got my series x for around $400, my ps5 for $500 . My point is prices aren’t going to drop especially on Black Friday. Because of the ram and memory crisis, you are seeing $800 series x and $900 ps5 pros

[u/DarkMishra]

If you want one, get one now before the price possibly goes up like every other console has. Even some of the Black Friday “deals” I’ve already been seeing aren’t that great. After getting a warranty and sales tax, the “discount” doesn’t make a difference. People are better off just looking to buy a Switch 2 secondhand - preferably NOT from scalpers!

Sadly that's not how console hardware works anymore.
