Reply to comment by CohlN in Black Friday online sales to hit new record by wander9077

There are definitely some good deals out there. But I also saw the Nintendo Switch for $300 and went wait isn't it always $300.

Nintendo products rarely go on sale.

Yeah I'll be buying a switch and some games tomorrow, lowest prices I've ever seen on the console.

They can’t advertise or sell Switch for less than MSRP. Best they can do is bundle other stuff you likely don’t need or want to increase the “value”

It’s stupid, I just bought an used Switch for $250.

Generally the best you get on black friday are bundle deals

I mean it is Nintendo. Their products rarely go on sale and when it comes to consoles it is extremely rare to have a price drop. However, many stores will add a game or two to sweeten the pot, especially during holiday season.

You got Mario Kart for free in the holiday bundle, so still a deal.

The Switch is very overpriced and outdated at this point. $300 for a console built on 2015 smartphone parts. There hasn't been a price drop or significant hardware revision (in terms of processing power) in the entire 6 years since it's release. At this point you're better off waiting for the Switch's successor. Or better yet, you could put that $300 towards a PC and emulate Switch games at 4k 60fps (a better experience than the actual console).

Outdated doesn't mean anything for a games console. You buy it for the games, not the hardware.
