Well, the Switch is also the only real choice for portable console that gets full-fledged games.
A smartphone hardly competes with it with its spammy mobile game stores, lack of dedicated controller, and lack of single hardware target that has developers actually making games for it.
Smartphone + controller is so uncompelling that I've literally never seen someone playing that way in the flesh, and I bought a Switch with zero interest in Nintendo games. And since developers can't assume you have a controller, mobile games are stuck in this very superficial built-for-touch limbo that limits what they can be.
You're missing a lot if you think a Pixel + Razr controller competes with Switch even after removing all Nintendo games. That's to suggest that mobile tap-interface gaming competes with Switch/PS/Xbox games.
Just consider the difference between Skyrim on Switch and Blades on iOS/Android. That's the chasm I'm talking about.
- manojlds 6y agoI was talking more of things like Xcloud with Razr controller. I would also argue that Switch has Skyrim due to the sale of Switch caused by BoTW and Odyssey. Don't get me wrong, I have only my Switch for gaming, but I only mean that I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't a Nintendo.
