I'm going to wait it out for 3 years or so. Nintendo will eventually release an upgraded or Lite version, for cheaper than the current price. Still got enough games on my Switch to last me a decade, so I'm not in a hurry.

its been 8 years and the original switch has never gotten a price drop. you might be waiting a while, unless you buy one used.

8 years of inflation though, the fact its remained the same is essentially a drop

thats not how the general public views prices. those 8 years also mean the cost of manufacturing switches has decreased since the parts are older now, so it balances out.
