Here's What It Would Take For Me Not To Wait Until Christmas For A Nintendo Switch 2

I've always been a Christmas console boy. In the entirety of my nearly three decades playing games, the only consoles I've bought with my own money were the Xbox One and the Oculus Quest. Both times I only shelled out because I was a freelancer and needed them for reviews. On the other hand, my Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, N64, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, DS, Wii, PS3, 3DS, Wii U, PS4, Switch, and PS5 were all Christmas (occasionally birthday) gifts. Consoles are expensive and I've rarely had 300-plus bones to throw at a new system.
