The Switch is five years old now. That’s ancient in tech years. Yet, it’s still the bestselling console in the US.
Why? Because Nintendo doesn’t care about graphics. They care about play. A game like Super Mario Odyssey looks cartoony, but it feels like a vacation.
On Black Friday, you’re not buying hardware. You’re buying a ticket to that vacation. And it’s on sale.
A Final, Slightly Silly Warning
Don’t buy the Switch Lite unless you hate your TV. Seriously. It’s a handheld-only version. No docking. No big-screen Mario Kart. It’s a trap.
Also, avoid the “refurbished” deals from random websites. You don’t want a “gently used” console that smells like someone’s basement. Trust me.
Stick to big stores. Get the OLED model if you can. The screen is gorgeous, like a tiny movie theater. Your eyes will thank you.
