Yes. By all means. It's simply the best console. Do not buy a toy, a switch, you are not a child anymore and need cartoon games to keep you entertained. Put the toys away -or leave them in the store. The switch's idea of a new game is Skyrim and L.A. Noire-. One released in 2011 and one in 2012. FINALLY the Switch- that calls it self gen 8- is graphically powerful enough to play them. Prob is, it is barely that and the graphics are better on a 2011 PS3. Switch is no gen 8. More like a gen 6.5 So of you want the graphics of 2009 or 2010 go head and buy a children's toy. Craptendo announced last week they were making "The World Ends with You" for the Switch- that was a 2007 DS -not even 3DS release. Wow! I am so not impressed. A game 10 years old is NEW om the switch. Do not buy garbage and regret it two years later- get the PS4.

@Elandra77 Nintendo games are great. I have played mature games as well as cartoon games. Mario Kart is a great racer that I have had hours of fun playing with others. I own an Xbox also. I have played countless games of Halo multiplayer. Each system has its own merits. When it comes to gaming, I prefer pc over consoles.
All I know is I paid $300 and we are happy.

@SW-User I see it as a child's toy. An embellished tablet. And when the novelty of it wears off there goes the switch- to play L.A. Noise one had to go out and but more memory for a system just released! The WiiU failed terribly which was why the Switch was rushed out. There are STILL no trophies or achievements- and one cannot play a CD,DVD , or BLU Ray- no picture discs. It is still that primitive- The PS2 could play CD's and DVD's. And no Nintendo system ever will- toys.
I would leave PC's out of a comparison as she wanted a CONSOLE and maybe had $500 to spent- Not $2000 + on an Alienware PC or high end Dell. It is also something one has to keep spending a lot of money on to upkeep. She may not have that.

@Elandra77 Yet the Switch has two of the best games of the year on it
@SW-User Yes. Awards Nintendo bought well for. THE GOTY was won by greasing a lot of journalist ans voters hands. And it copied Skyrim to a large degree.
@SW-User My son has the system. I was not that impressed. Horizon Zero Dawn was better. As was Persona 5 and Nier. Them maybe Wild. I started playing PC games in 1968 on mainframes and then PDP units in the 1970's.(long before any Atari) And I still have almost every console that came out. I have plated better than Wild but I am glad you enjoyed it.
@SW-User Excellent choice!! My son in law and daughter have that and they love it. I hope you have hours of enjoyment with this- The PS exclusives are awesome. The PS store offers new items each Tuesday-unless a special sale is going on so check that for digital offers and avatars- To play online you will need a PS PLUS subscription. Similar to what MS has.
