What do I need to know before buying a Nintendo Switch?
The biggest question to ask when buying any games console is how you'll primarily be using it and what kinds of games you'll want to play.
If you travel a lot and want something portable, a Nintendo Switch could be a great option. It's also the most budget-friendly major console, with the cheapest model – the Switch Lite – costing under £200, compared to Microsoft's Xbox Series S (£250), and Sony's PlayStation 5 digital (£390). Both the Xbox and PlayStation require a TV or computer monitor to game on, too.
Nintendo gets most new releases, has a wide catalogue of their own exclusive titles, has thousands of indie games, plus older games are remade or ported over to be released on the console.
