To be fair, the OP is not outdated. Everything in it is still valid. It just doesn't need to be updated as frequently as in the beginning since a lot of ranges are already
covered and new data is a lot less frequent. I went over the new replies and added the serials that extend the ranges to the OP.
Nevertheless, since your summary in the OP only includes minimum and maximum values, I've done a complete re-read of all the posts and am working on a frequency chart to give a bit more of a visualisation to the concentration of firmwares across serials.
Example: Firmwares seen in XAW100 series, data points grouped in lots of 50XXXXX
I like graphs...

Is there some sort of pattern or specific numbers I should avoid (or go for) when picking out a console at a store? It seems like the serials are just random.
There's a local store here in the UK that has some Switch consoles in stock but I don't want to go there and have a member of staff constantly bring out boxes while I compare them to the list in the OP.
Ideally there would be something I can tell the person like "when you get one from the back, make sure the serial number doesn't have <insert serial> in it".

There are six series, XAW100, XAW400, XAW700, XAJ100, XAJ400, XAJ700. They proceed through their serials at different rates, but I wrote up simplified guide you can use. After the first three numbers (XAW100 for example) check the next three.
For 3.0.0 these serials are perfect:
W100: <200
W400: <020
W700: <050
J100: <100
J400: <180
J700: <140
All you have to do is memorize these six numbers or write them on a piece of paper and that will make it a lot easier to compare serials in a hurry.
Any higher and you'll be pushing your luck. You can still get 3.0.0 above these serials but you're at a higher risk of getting later versions. Find the serial which had the lowest number compared to these numbers.
Example, if you see a XAJ700100 and a XAW700050, get the XAJ700100 because it is further below 140 than the other is below 050
EDIT:
Now that I've analyzed all the values, these are more lenient serials that should get you 3.0.0 without risk:
XAJ100: Even in graphic it's still an undetermined mess. Stick with <100
XAJ400: Should be pretty safe with <190. No 3.0.1 serials reported below that.
XAJ700: <150 seems fine. There's only been one out of place firmware reported, at 152.
XAW100: No out of place firmwares reported below 230.
XAW400: There's a very distinct switch in firmwares at 028, so <027 is safe.
XAW700: If you can find one of these you're lucky. Anything under 080 is great... in fact most of this serial is. It has the highest concentration of 1.0.0 consoles of all the series.

Great. Thanks for clearing that up. I'll now have to think about whether I actually go and buy it now. I currently already have a Switch that's on 3.01 thanks to the Mario Odyssey cart and I've been stuck in two minds about waiting on there for an exploit or getting a 2nd Switch.
If it helps anyone, my Switch (I think) came with 1.0 FW and the serial is XAJ700061.
Just did some database comparing and I noticed a few errors and entries that have been missed. I don't know if it's really that important, but since I'm making graphics, I do have to sift out erroneous data.
In the google spreadsheet, entry 197 has an invalid serial. Even if the serial is correct, it is so far outside the range that it is a practically useless data point. There are a few other data points I omitted because they seemed so out of place it seemed fair to assume they were a refurbish.
Now, the OP:
Only had time to do the XAJ data points today, will work on XAW later.

for serial series XAJ400, an unidentified user (listed in the spreadsheet) has submitted XAJ40004, which is lower than your listed min value of XAJ400007. Theoretically however, 1.0.0 on all serial series should start at 000

for serial series XAJ400, the max value of XAJ400136 I could not source. The only two serials that match are running 2.3.0. The next highest value for 2.1.0 is XAJ400126, submitted by krot (listed in the spreadsheet)
for serial series XAJ700, astra221 (listed on the spreadsheet) has submitted XAJ700070, which is lower than your listed min value of XAJ700078.

Thanks for correcting my errors. I tried to include the spreadsheet, but after awhile I just focused on the thread as it was easier to know where I had left
of and what entries are new. Would you like to edit the OP? I can put you in the editorial list.
Sure. I just copied the spreadsheet into excel. From there you can probably just compare the local file with the google one every now and then to see what entries are new.
Hey there !
Got two consoles FW XAJ100249XXXXX available at sale in the shop I work for. Is it worth buying one ?

Ok, I added you to the list. You should be able to edit the OP now.
Is either 3.0.2 or 4.0.1.

Trying to get this to work nicely on an excel graph was a fucking nightmare, I needed graphing features it just could not supply. So I decided to put my art skills to work and make a pretty infograph by hand.

only ps5 updated to latest firmware can go on psn, jailbroken ones just don't use psn or they risk getting flagged or banned, altho spouting profanity in online play alredy does that -
