Been thinking of buying a switch 2 if it launches in india after a few months (imported ones will cost wayy too much at launch) but I'm unsure if there's a way to buy games for slightly cheaper or not, The exclusives seem pretty fun alongside backwards compatibility to switch 2, but i'm still not too sure.
 
Honestly, sounds like a tough sell. The original switch never officially launched in India, games are expensive and looks like this one would be even less moddable.

ah, that's fair. The launch retail price is currently 55k for the console and 60k for the bundle, absolutely not worth it. It costs 54k for the mario kart bundle with a case and screen protector in UAE
 
it costs as much as a PS5 plus u cant PS5 cheaper with offers right now. So PS5 is way better option you can get used game easily and library of games is way more compared to nintenods or u want portability then again rog ally or steam deck are way better options unless u are die hard Nintendo fan its hard to justify the price.

Switch 2 price in USA is around 38,000.

I have seen many reseller in WhatsApp group in India for around 55,0000.

Also do keep in mind switch /Nintendo never lower price that much compared to all other consoles makers

No console is worth it at launch. May be Xbox 360, PS3, Wii were, but nothing after that. I would wait for 2-3 years before considering it. Upgrade of previous generations are almost never worth it. They never wow you like you hope they would. Moreover, Nintendo has priced their console ridiculously. So, I wouldn't consider it. They were selling the previous console for $250. Now they have launched it for $550 for almost the same thing.
