That's optimistic if a new console is announced
For sure, everyone will be trading in and selling their Switch 1s. Switch 2 is guaranteed to be the hottest xmas item this year, behind iPhones and AirPods.
Yeah you’re probably right
New console will be closer to $700 imo. Which will keep the value of the current gens high.
is a new one expected this year?
In an October 2023 interview, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa reiterated that the company would remain focused on Switch until the end of Nintendo’s current fiscal year in March 2024

Most likely announced very soon. Probably released between mid to end of this year.
Spending $400 on a seven year old console (besides a new screen) when we’re likely months away from the new model seems absolutely crazy to me.
What if the new one can't be hacked? I mean its Nintendo so it will most likely take 3 days to hack but it might be months to years even.
@FabMan: the launch model tends to be the one easiest to hack
@Mooncakes: It does, doesn't mean it is hacked the day it is released and updates often patch exploits before an exploit is publicly available. Often this means you need to buy one day one and then leave it on the shelf. While this Switch OLED model can still be mod hacked today.
Apologies for my naivety - if you are only displaying on a TV via a dock, is there any point in upgrading?
Nope - same components and battery under the new OLED screen.
But better battery life (if you're not playing docked)
Nope, they both run the same SoC inside. The only improvement to docked play is the OLED dock has a builtin ethernet port vs. using a $20 external usb ethernet card on the older dock.
If you're going to give it to a kid nephew or something when you upgrade maybe?
@AustriaBargain I keep all my consoles when I upgrade, I have my OG Gameboy from when i was a kid still! (Yet I did sell my switch… lolz)
actual deal.
Any deals on a Ford Model T?
Seriously if you’ve made it this far without a Switch, wait a little longer.
mod chip tho
I’d still wait for clearance prices.
Great price! I think the ATL was this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/732589 although not the same colourway
Yeah, and it's been around this price WITH Mario Kart & 3 months online sub…
I got one with this deal before. Worked out $319.50 but had to buy two.

2018 : HODL…a new Switch is coming.
2019: Here it comes, I told you to HODL, the new Switch….Lite?? <This> is not the Switch you are looking for.
2020: Nintendo are cough…cough…haacck going to make a killing with everyone stuck at home shiver….sweat….can't…..breathe when they release the new Switch. Wait, the old Switch is out of stock and being flogged second hand for more than RRP?? For crying out loud, HODL, a new Switch will definitely come when supply chains recover when the pandemic ends by Easter. wheeze cough
2021: Hahaha, told you suckers, boom, Switch…..OLED…..man this will be awesome, new screen, and new checks specs….Ethernet port?? Ohhh C'MON!!
2022: Here we go, slap some of those sweet this decade generation of chips in that OLED body, time it with a new release of Zelda, this rumour practically writes itself it is so accurate.
2023: Aaaaand here's Zelda, oh my God, oh my God, it's Zelda, food and rent is too expensive anyway so I will rough sleep and eat out of dumpsters to have my money ready to order this Switch 2 now it is finally coming………right? Right??
2024: Hey, that Asus Rog Ally/Lenovo Legion Go is pretty sweet, anyone know where Switch ROMs are? Asking for a friend.
Please tell me this is copypasta and you weren't bothered writing all that .
You're welcome 😄
Writing hard
100% that’s me
Except for ROMs 😬
OLED Model - White $407.20
How much is the NEEW Model?
Hahaha
Well played.
There a Dreamcast for $20 on fbmp rn
Buy it and get a mod chip and a $1000 scaler.
You don’t need a mod chip for the Dreamcast.
Go on, buy it, before it's worth the $300 that it's always been.
I mean, what price did you pay for your shoes?
You know they are only really worth a couple of dollars, right?
oos already
I sold my original Switch for $440. No regrets.
How?
- List it for sale.
- Someone buys it.
Big if true
already back to $490 :|
It sold out, link defaults to next cheapest third party seller.
Price has changed back to $490 on Amazon.
Amazon OOS back to 3rd party seller, wait and see if they may have stock back.
Still a great system. I grabbed an OLED mid last year - was great to travel with. Just played through Red Dead Redemption - excellent port. Cool to play on-the-go, or docked.
Still happy with my Pokémon edition for 370 ish
Don't do it. If you've made it this far into the Switch lifecycle without purchasing, just hold. We are going to see a new Switch this year.
can i have your crystal ball
Don't need a crystal ball, just some common sense ;)
yeah people like you said that for the last 2 years running common sense my ass
@Freestyle: You might be mistaking the Switch Pro and the Switch 2, 3rd party developers already have devkits for the device. It is rumoured to be announced in March via a random YouTube video like they did with the first one.
yeah people like you said that for the last 2 years running common sense my ass
That was the Pro that Nintendo decided not to release because:
1) Supply chain issues creating a whole SKU during a pandemic.
2) Massive amounts of people buying the old model (because bored during lockdowns) meaning Nintendo didn’t need to release a new console with lower profit margins.
can i have your crystal ball
No crystal ball needed, just be ability to read Nintendo’s president Shuntaro Furukawa‘s interview.
Genuinely baffles me why these things are so popular. Got the Neon colour from the Big W deal and it’s collecting dust. I can understand if you commute or travel but other than that, I see little need for it if you already own a PS5/XSX.
Pokemon, Zelda and Mario.
Good games (maybe not modern Pokemon and Zelda) trapped on shitty devices. It's how Nintendo gets away with selling this garbage for 7 years even though the hardware is already out of date upon release.
Obviously differs from person to person, but some like the portability aspect (even if it simply means being able to play in different parts of the house rather than always having to sit in front of your TV - though some will argue you'd want to play the switch in docked mode at home anyway). Otherwise the more obvious one is the lineup of games.
My wife has no interest in the PS5 collection but will happily play those Mini Nintendo titles like Mario Party etc.
I find the Nintendo is great for a few people over simple easy fun.. PS5 is practically a "dont play my save file"
Beat me to it. I snapped one up - even if a new model comes out this year I reckon I could sell this for close to $400
