Spontaneous Explosions

Got mine around a week after it was first launched in stores here in Australia.
I still play it regularly.

Alot of the issues I've seen and heard online(Case randomly chipping, unknown scratches appearing , over heating etc) are things I've never experienced myself, ever. So I can't speak on behalf of those.

Has a decent range of games generally.
I also recommend getting a nicely sized memory card for it too, if you plan to buy and download a ton of the games via the online store.

The best part definitely has to be the flexibility. While I do enjoy playing with Pro controller, it is still great and enjoyable to lay down lazylike playing with the Joy cons in each hand, while splayed across the lounge^(Sofa?). Aswell as being able to play anywhere at anytime. _{^{Reminds me of the Gameboy days almost.}}

Battery life depends on the game, but it still lasts a long time regardless.

Customization alone is worth it in itself.
Dock socks, sleeves, battery packs, handles, controllers etc Can all be custom ordered and bought with pre design templates, or with your own design if you find a seller who does them custom. (I got alot of my custom gear on Etsy)

So yes, you should get one. Lasts a long time if you enjoy the games and look after it properly.
Very much worth it.

Alright then...I guess i'll get one. 

I'll still prob play xbox one or 360 as my main console, but this will help when my brothers are using both xD.

From what I understand, a switch is about as powerful a console as and xbox 360...is that correct?

I'v never played any game on anything but a Microsoft device...not sure I can do this...
