Good games, re-release of classics, big library, portable and can be turned into a normal console.
Lightweight, acceptable battery life.... just plain ol fun.

People could ask the same about the Big boy Consoles.

They underperform, have hard time keeping 60fps, power hungry, lots of heat... is not portable, games are expensive, less couch/livingroom coop.....

Great... now i'm wondering why i like consoles now. ha ha

Portable and tv play. Popular for group games, family games and accessible / casual gaming. All of which combine to hit a decent cross section of the market.

Re: “do people really like Mario that much?” .. yes. More specifically, I guess like movie sequels, people go with what they know what they like. I used to say the same but realistically, despite having an Xbox, I generally only play the same handful of games - occasionally branching out into indie games. I’d never say I’ve been a hardcore gamer but as I spent less time gaming / became more time poor I tended to be happy playing a few familiar titles or games that i could dive jn and out of. Combined with the portability, I think Nintendo really brings that familiarly and convenience in the switch.

I don’t have one mind but I realised the above after I bought the series x

I love the vibe and the portability. It just feels comfortable and homey to use. I have like 300 hours on tetris effect on it because for me there's nothing like switch Tetris.

Depends on if you want games, or a RGH system, or if it's just the console.

• Just the console - Between 25-40$ is fair based on the condition of the system.
• With games - Between 50-100$ is fair based on number of games and if comes with kinect.
• RGH system - Between 50-200$ is based on the amount of stuff on their hard drives, such games and emulators and more.

But that's just me though.
(Also, this is based on our FB market place prices, also, am in canada.. so might not be general same in your area, but regardless, i think these are fair prices.

it's a gameboy. basically it's the best portable for it's price point. this gears it towards families better. plus the parental controls and the lack of a browser makes this ideal for parents and very young children that are just old enough to start gaming. this is also something nintendo has done well with throughout it's life. so like cigarettes, if you can hook them while they're young, chances are that itch will always stay will with them forever.
