| Jumpin said: It's not too expensive. It's actually a little cheaper than I expected considering proper tablets usually cost 2-2.5X as much while lower end tablets are on par with the Switch. Comparing it to a home console is apples and oranges, they're two different types of products. It is why tablets are generally much more expensive than desktop PCs with equivalent power. Switch is a tablet console that can be played like a home console. |
I still have to wonder outside of core Nintendo fans and Japan how much appeal that concept has.
It's inherintely a hardcore feature really, it assumes you like fairly complex video games (talking Wii/PS3/360 era graphics with physical controls a smartphone can't provide) and cannot leave the house without having those games to be able to play with you.
It will be interesting to find out I guess.
The other issue is push comes to shove, which device do people prefer, this (Switch) which only plays games basically or a tablet which can play movies, music, have books, surf the web, play games, take photos, do all the social media stuff, etc. etc.
