You've got a massive library of cheap, quality premium games spanning ever genre. The same indie games on iPad are a fraction of the price of their Switch (and often PC) counterparts.
Many games support MiFi controllers.
You have a wealth of utility apps.
Thousands of art and music creation tools.
Hundreds of streaming services, many with chromecast support.
You can even play Mario on the iPad.
And honestly, as always, that's really all Nintendo can counter-offer: Nintendo games. That's definitely enough for a lot of people, but between what the Switch currently offers for its price and the price of the games, is it a good value proposition if compared to the new iPad pricepoint?
Now I'm sure by this time next year the Switch is going to be looking much stronger, but what about how it looks this year for someone looking to buy a portable, rich gaming device now?
