The NPD Group which tracks video game sales in the United States have published an interesting article to their blog detailing their predictions for the upcoming Christmas period. One of their predictions is that the Nintendo Switch will be the best-selling system this holiday season. They say this is mainly due to consumer demand, but it is also due to the scarcity of next generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft on store shelves.
Nintendo Switch will be the best-selling console of holiday 2020 –
Switch will also be a hot holiday gifting item with more households picking up multiple Switch consoles in the fourth quarter. The lack of available inventory of new PlayStations and Xbox systems will leave Switch as an appealing available option (although supply may still be difficult to find).

It will as soon as it’s back in stock.
I was going to buy a switch lite, but the joy con drift problem can’t be fixed without sending in the entire console… soo I might just want and hope the next switch next year is better.
idk if I was lucky or not, but when my old launch model was on its last legs and decided to get the Ver 2 (Mariko rev) Switch. I havent had a single drift and ive had it for nearly 8 months. (and its been in my work pants constantly at work. Sticks being pushed on and tilted when bending, kneeling and such)
idk if I got lucky or they finally releasing better joycons out into the wild and is gonna be awhile b4 it reaches market majority.
They would have been quite dumb to not fix the obvious issue with the design.
I maybe have 1 joy con out of 6, that is not drifting. to 1 I already replaced the stick, as the part is quite cheap.
