When is the best time to buy a Nintendo Switch?

November is the best month to purchase a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Lite, as Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the year's biggest shopping days. You’ll want to check out Nintendo Switch deals at different shops during that time. Black Friday falls on November 24 this year and Cyber Monday on November 27, however, many shops begin their sales before then, some as early as the last week of October.  

Nintendo Switch vs. Nintendo Switch Lite vs Nintendo Switch OLED

If you’re looking to buy a Switch, then by now you know that there are currently three models available: the original Nintendo Switch, the Switch Lite, and the Switch OLED. Still trying to decide which model is the one for you? They all have advantages and disadvantages, so it's crucial to weigh your options. Below are the most important differences between the models.

Overall, the three models have a lot in common, however, the Switch Lite is a less expensive, smaller, and lighter model. But the Switch has a larger handheld screen, though both models have a similar resolution. If you’re looking to use the Switch both with the handheld function and on your TV, you’ll want to purchase the original Switch or the Switch OLED. For more information on the differences between the two, check out the Nintendo website.

Nintendo Switch OLED Model 

Last year, Nintendo released a new model of the Switch, the OLED model; as it was the latest addition to the Nintendo Switch family, they were not a part of any Black Friday or Cyber Monday offers. This year, we're hoping to see some great discounts. Regardless, you will still find Switch games and accessories to use with your Switch OLED during Black Friday.
