Sales are reportedly down 41% and I have not seen a real Black Friday cut announced. I mostly play handheld and already have a big Switch 1 backlog. Is there any realistic chance of a bundle or price drop before Christmas, or should I just grab one now and stop waiting?","community":"Gaming","score":1,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":1,"leading":{"id":864,"name":"Wait for a bundle","score":1},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"samhustles","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-10T01:11:44.779Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/694","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":864,"name":"Wait for a bundle","body":"Nintendo almost never cuts hardware price before Christmas, but they do bundles. Last year the Switch 1 holiday bundle threw in a game and a case for the same price. Buy the console now only if you need it this month, otherwise wait for the bundle announcement - the $500 sticker is not moving.","score":1,"rank_score":6,"author":{"username":"marcusbuilds","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-10T01:17:08.920Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
