O Nintendo Switch may be the best seller of 2022, surpassing the PS5 it’s the XBox Series S/X. The console launched in 2017 is already entering its sixth year of life and, normally, the next generation should have already been announced – or at least the Switch Pro should be showing up with “leaks” for a possible release. The question that many still ask is: Is it worth buying a Nintendo Switch in 2022?
If sales projections this year are confirmed, they should once again swallow Sony and Microsoft consoles. However, for Nintendo, this could mean a downfall – especially as the Switch has been on the market longer and runs the risk of suffer from a lack of units for sales.

Why buy a Nintendo Switch in 2022?
First, because we really don’t know if a new generation will actually be released in 2022, as no new generation announcements have been made. The model YOU AREwith a larger and better quality screen, was released in late 2021. Rumors indicate that a new announcement should not be made until 2013 (and look there).
The second reason is the exclusive games playbook. You won’t find the franchise games Mario, Animal Crossing Where Donkey Kong on another console. And even if a new console is released, it should come with backward compatibility.
The third and most important reason is versatility, as it is possible to play on TV or in handheld mode. It is not yet known whether the company will continue to invest in this type of model.
Why does the Nintendo Switch have such expensive games?
Nintendo Switch is the current generation console with the cheapest entry price, even more so if you buy the version Lite it, which costs less than R$ 1650. So, if you have a slightly smaller budget (an Xbox Series S costs more than R$ 2600, for example), it may be better to invest in it.
However, the values of the games are still quite salty compared to other consoles. This is due to tax values and the low circulation of games in Brazil. A good option to circumvent this may be to invest in digital media or take advantage of promotions on authorized sites.

Does Nintendo Switch have national technical assistance?
In case you don’t already know, Nintendo officially returned to Brazil in 2020 and started to officially sell consoles in national territory, with the right to guarantee and national technical assistance.
You will no longer need to be in the hands of intermediary markets that traditionally put the knife in the consumer! Now, you can purchase your Nintendo Switch at official stores, such as Americanas, Submarino, Magazine Luiza or Amazon.
You will find in these places the standard hybrid consoles for prices close to R$ 2000; may fall into promotions. Last Black Friday, for example, some stores sold the Switch for R$1750.
So is the Nintendo Switch worth it?
The console has excellent exclusive games and some games from PS4 and Xbox One and others from PS3 and Xbox 360. The portable mode is a differential in relation to other competitors. Its versatility will surprise you!
Game prices are still quite expensive, but they can be dodged if you bet on digital media or wait for promotions.
