1. Not sure actually . I thought I'd go for grey but the red and blue looks fun . I'll decide on the day

Was going to wait a year or until the holidays but the gamestop trade in promos were too good for this one so I already did. A neon one (even though I kinda wanted grey).

I pre-ordered one, grey. But I'm not yet convinced to keep the pre-order.

So technically I'm in category 1 for now, but I might switch to 2. (specifically when Splatoon comes out).

1. Grey. Also preordered a set of neon joycons for max multiplayer action, and the ability to switch up a set in the dock/set in the joycon dock when they need charging.

I'm thinking when more games are available or there is a price drop. At first I was considering buying it day one and even preordered it at GameStop, but I did the math and for the Switch, Zelda, and a pro controller it will cost me around $465. Dividing that by $65(Standard Price of games with Tax where I live) That's 7 games. Considering the line up this year I just cannot justify buying it over all of the great games that are coming out right now over what pretty much amounts to just Zelda.

EDIT: 2 or 3

2, though I also need more money personally in general first. Just sunk some money into getting parts for my PC, which means delaying the Switch for now. Also I'd probably go grey.

I never got a wiiu but now i'm looking at buying one if i can score one cheap for BOTW + backlog as I know I dont want it at its current price + peripheral price

so..

3+4 but at the edge of 5 (probably end of life cycle purchase like wiiU). grey

1 - grey

since the whole 'vertical dock' thing kinda forces me to put it 'on display' constantly, i can't do Neon. Would look tacky underneath my TV.
