They wanted a switch because their friend had one and they had a playdate and loved it.

If friend had had another system they'd probably love that to iykwim

They have no experience with consoles other than that

They did get tablets last year and have kept them alive though I did get sturdy covers and screen protectors My sons tablet is slightly curved now and he's on his second protector which is cracked , but tbh I'm surprised they've lasted as he is quite clumsy and walks around with it 😂
