Yeah we’ve seen them in the shops already and have been tempted but so far resisted.

We’re the same usually start buying them at the end of the month 😂

Yeah you’ll probably use the switch for exclusives seeing as you have the other consoles.

However you may chose to buy some games on it for the portability factor, which is a huge pull.

Yeah I’ve realised this a lot with the switch. We’ll see if I end up picking one up in the near future 😬

I realised I don’t really own many games on my Xbox. Mostly play Game Pass when I use it and I’ve not used it a lot recently.

Yeah I’ve got so many other important things to buy first with a baby on the way otherwise I would’ve just impulse bought it 😂

Mainly want it for a backlog / indie machine.

Since getting the Switch 2, I've realised how much I enjoy handhelds. My Xbox is basically a Game Pass machine & I've been thinking about selling it, specially with the GP price increase.

I'm really tempted to buy a Steam Deck OLED. So my lineup would be Gaming PC, Switch 2 and Deck.

Yeah, was looking forward to playing it. But if it means a better experience then the wait will be worth it. Also gives me time to try and finish up other games I have on the go.

Pietro Marano @pietromarano.bsky.social · 3d

Hopefully it went well 😊

Pietro Marano @pietromarano.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah that’s how they get people to stay within the game 😂

Pietro Marano @pietromarano.bsky.social · 3d

Hopefully it makes the day go quick for you though 🤞🏻

That’s mental, I hate when games do things like this with such short time period, feels like it puts an unhealthy pressure on players.

It’s one reason why I’ve gave up playing FIFA games. I don’t have all the time in the world to complete tasks in order for my online team to be competitive.
