It was time to upgrade the Xbox One, so I took the Nintendo switches (which haven't been used as much as we all thought they would be) plus games and traded them in for a new series X. Ended up costing me $126 with the traded stuff, so I'm pretty chuffed about that. Not as chuffed as the Elder will be on his birthday when he gets it! The switches were just not as enjoyable to use as the 3DS was.

I have a ps4. I would love to upgrade.....perhaps this is the year.

This just gave me the mini butt kick to get rid of my Switch! Also, was definitely not into it as much as I thought I would be considering I've owned a fair few Nintendo handhelds, I kinda blame game prices.

Er, I need a new dock if you’re getting rid of it.

I'm the opposite. I gave the kids a switch for Christmas, and ended up buying a second hand switch lite for myself. I am loving it.

I have a Skyrim campaign in my pocket. Have to sit around for an hour while the kid has Tae Kwon Do? No biggie. It's a wonder I don't see lots of these things on the train. I would use it if I had a longer commute.

The kids use theirs on the TV 90% of the time, but they have upgraded from an Xbox (original one) with wired controllers.
