Though it's probably NOT the time to get the standard Switch console.

We are on the precipice of a new era for the Nintendo Switch. I've been searching for prices on this handheld console for six years now, so I have a unique insight into the infinitesimal fluctuations in price that happen to the Switch console over Black Friday and Cyber Monday – and this year is like no other.

With the Switch 2 launching next year, I think it's unlikely we'll see any more major reductions on the standard Switch console for a long time. This means that it's a special time to get a very low price on the OLED console – a device that will stand the test of time for a while yet. Here's what I think will happen, and why I think now is generally a good time to buy an OLED, although you have just missed most of the deals that were around over the Black Friday weekend. Here's hoping they start popping up again before Christmas.

Note that the deals below were all better over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, though there are still offers available on games.
