Black Friday won't look so good in the years to come.

We are on the precipice of a very different time for the Nintendo Switch. I've been searching for prices on this handheld console for five years now, so I have a unique insight into the infinitesimal fluctuations in price that happen to the Switch console over Black Friday – 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 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 you should take advantage of the deals popping up right now.

Note: deals are fluctuating, with the previous best offer in the US selling out at Target (keep an eye on that one here in case there's more stock). Below you'll see the current best deals, or you can check out our Nintendo Switch Black Friday live blog.
