So, like, in about February I think? I suggested to my parents that my brother might like a Switch for his next birthday, and we could all pool money and buy him one together. To make sure it was something he actually wanted, we asked his wife to scope out his level of interest in getting one - he'd expressed interest before, but we wanted to double check before forking over $400+.
She got back to us and said he didn't want one, and wasn't really interested in any consoles. Okay, we got him other stuff.

But I was just looking at one of his online wishlists for Christmas, and he has a Switch and like five games for the Switch on there*! What the fuck!
And it's like, did she lie? If yes, why? Did *he* lie? If yes, *fucking why*? His birthday was coming up, a question like 'Hey do you want a Switch' is not so complex anyone should feel the need to dissemble!
The most reasonable explanation I can think of is he was worried that *she* was going to buy him a Switch, and their finances aren't really solid enough to justify a purchase like that, so he made like he didn't want one. But then he put it on his wishlist, which she can see, so I'm???


*which he put there *after* his birthday, it's not that I'm a total dumbass

Your explanation might be correct, and as for why he put a Switch on his wishlist, it's a lot less awkward and demanding-feeling to put something on a wishlist than to ask for it directly. And lots of people treat their wishlists more like suggestions than expectations of what they're actually going to get.

... or maybe he didn't want one then but changed his mind since that time? I know I wasn't interested in getting a Switch when they first came out, but they've since released several games for it that I actually am interested in and now I want one. There's a perfectly good chance it's just something as simple as that.

Adding on to what the two anons above me have said, the Switch has dropped in price somewhat since it first came out to my understanding - he could've been waiting until it wasn't gonna set anyone back $400+.
