In a surprise twist, it was the supermarkets that had the best Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals last year. They had Switch consoles going for as cheap as £230 over the sales event – some of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen! Stock was quite limited though, so you’d have been lucky to grab one. What does that mean for 2021, though?
Well, with the announcement of the Switch OLED, we have already seen a price drop for the standard Nintendo Switch. It seems a likely bet that we’ll see even bigger savings and better offers in this year’s Switch Black Friday 2021 deals. As for Switch OLED Black Friday deals, Nintendo’s output usually has a long-term demand and that applies to both consoles and games, so the incentive to discount them is minimal.
However, the best offers may be hiding on the Nintendo Switch Lite. The already much more affordable handheld-only iteration was reduced to £180 last year in a bundle with Animal Crossing New Horizons and a 3 Month Switch Online membership. Still one of the console’s biggest titles, this bundle bargain may be repeated in 2021. We’ll just have to wait and see in November.
