Hardware should I preserve my switch?

[Deleted member 388618]

Hello, I have an unpatched Switch that I use a lot. Maybe too much ...
I play several hours a day and it remains in sleep mode most of the time and I'm afraid that in the near future, it eventually wear and break. Unpatched Switch are rare and I'm afraid it happens.
you think I'm right to be scared where I make it bad for nothing?
What is the life time of a Switch in your opinion?

Play your Switch and enjoy it. There's no point in having it otherwise.

Yes but they are some games that I Can have on my PC or my PS4 to preserve my Switch per exemple. But idk if it's worth it

Why do you buy a console only to be afraid of it breaking because you play too much? My PS2 from almost 20 years ago still works to this day. My FAT PS3 still works to this date even though these models are the ones that break the easiest.

They aren't that rare, still plenty of them in the wild

Emulation to the rescue in the future. Heck, we're already there...

None of which have a screen, built in battery, etc

So they can't break because they don't have a screen? What kind of logic is this? Don't you remember how many 360's had the RROD or how many PS3's had the YLOD.
