I got one as a gift, but I'm not sure why they're selling so well. I haven't bought a single new game for it yet. There's nothing I wanna play until maybe Metroid.

    I'd just turn it off and keep it offline so that you're on the lowest possible firmware for potential future exploits

    Then 🏴‍☠️

    From what I've been seeing in the Switch Hacking groups, you might be waiting a very long time. Nintendo has the kernel locked down very tight. I'm hoping that a vulnerability becomes exploitable but those that know more than I are less hopeful

    Yea, it might be a wait. I picked up a launch unit just for the purpose of future exploits. I'm just leaving it sealed on a shelf, worst case, I can probably get back what I paid for it in a few years since sealed Nintendo stuff holds their value decently enough.

    Like most other people seem to feel about, there's just not enough of a pull for me to want to play it LMAO

    Especially since I already haven't played my fully modded Switch 1 in a few months as is xD

    Well, launch year sales are generally by enthusiasts. I got one cause I love my Switch, and my wish for Switch 2 was faster and better Switch, which is exactly what they gave us. So, bought it as soon as I could.

    As for games, looking forward to Donkey Kong Bananza, not to mention I have a many Switch 1 games that I have yet to play, so don't have any shortage of games.
