So should I buy a switch now or wait for the switch 2? A question as old as time.

If you didn't buy a switch the first 6 years it was out (it came out in 2017) why the hell would you buy one now?

Back in 2017 I wanted to get a Switch for Breath of the wild and Splatoon 2 but looking back I'm actualy quite happy I went with the xbox one S instead

I can't suggest which one to get since we don't know enough about Switch 2 and it's all entirely dependent on your personal situation, but I will post this:

There are plenty of good games to play on Switch right now
Switch 2, like all consoles, will take time to build a significant games offering
According to the article, we don't know yet if Switch 2 will be backwards compatible or not

@Rodsterlings_cig If the Switch 2 turns out to be backwards compatible, buying a Switch 1 now only to buy a Switch 2 later would be a waste. It's better to wait for the announcement before making that decision.

If you buy one they will announce a new one, if you don't they will not lol
