    Breath of the Wild alone is actually tempting me to buy a Switch at launch. It looks so much better than the Wii U version, and it seems to perform better as well.

    I think it's dumb to buy a console at launch just because of one game, but I started to think...and it really wouldn't be such a dumb move. Nintendo products dont tend to drop in price (at least in Portugal), and eventually I will be getting one to play countless other stuff like Super Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, so would it be really that stupid to buy it at launch just to play Zelda for now?

    I still think the price is bullshit. 330€ for the console, 70€ for Zelda and another 70€ for a Pro Controller...but again this is pretty much the same amount i'm gonna pay for later this year/next year so what does it matter?

      Editing … You could also wait five more years and buy it used for less than half the price.

      Editing … At least wait and make sure that the hardware doesn't have severe defects before you purchase it. "Fuck, my day-one Xbox is red-ringing me!"

      Editing … Consoles don't get price drops in Portugal? I just looked it up, the Wii U's halved in price since launch here.

      Editing … I don't know where you checked, but a premium Wii U with Mario Kart has been 300€ for 3 years now. Yes it technically dropped, but only years after the fact.
