They should get pretty cheap once the S2 comes out. I've already seen an ad from Temu claiming they're selling real Switchs for cheap because the 2 is coming out soon. I mean I bought mine for like $250 a couple years ago which isn't bad for a system, and that was from Game Stop too.
We will see! The last system i ever paid for was the wii.
I have 2 buddies, 1 on ps and 1 on xbox, everytime they upgrade to the new console I get their previous consoles lol.
Been that way since the first models, so I've never needed to buy a new console for a long time with those.
