That is one persons opinion,
actually good sir the Wii got a refresh late it its lifespan but I don't consider the Switch as entirely a home console anyway. I guess its primary use is subjective but myself and others look at it as a portable first, home platform second, so while a refresh may not happen this year, there's no doubt in my mind it will happen at some point same as it has for every other portable platform they've ever released.SpicYMchaggis wrote: ↑ - Nintendo has never had a major refresh of a home console, dating back to the regular NES.
I didn't really look it up, I was just going off memory but are you talking about that disc-less red Wii that was only available in Canada? I purposely excluded that because it wasn't really an upgrade.ReeGee wrote: ↑ actually good sir the Wii got a refresh late it its lifespan but I don't consider the Switch as entirely a home console anyway.

The Switch is actually pretty durable, mine has been through hell and back so I've seen it all, here are a few things you could look out for:
Thanks so much for this! Really appreciate it!SpicYMchaggis wrote: ↑ The Switch is actually pretty durable, mine has been through hell and back so I've seen it all, here are a few things you could look out for:
- The screen scratches pretty easily so if there are no scratches it means it was probably well taken care of or just used in the dock.
- If the console has been dropped a few times chances are the Joycon lock has broken, if you a apply a small amount of pressure to the joycons from underneath without pushing the lock button and they pop off chances are the little plastic lock on the joycon snapped. I just replaced the lock on all my Joycons with a metal one.
- Check for hairline fractures on the back of the switch, apparently the rear casing has a tendency to fracture around the headphone jack. Also mine had fracture from the edge of the casing to where the kickstand was which prevented the kickstand from staying in the Switch when it was up.
Ultimately though as long as it turns on and charges fine though most of these are minor and can be fixed pretty easily on your own with cheap parts from China but if it has any of these issues I'd expect it to be that much cheaper.
