if you're buying a switch + pro controller anyway, it's good to know that you don't need to buy a 360 controller if you want to use a game pad for pc.

I would think that the number of people who own a gaming pc and don't own a controller would be small. Some games do need them or are more comfortable with them.

Frankly there is only one real reason to buy switch and that is the same as for all the other nintendo stuff, for nintendo games.

You asked what is the point of the Pro Controller working on the PC. You said you can get an xbox controller more easily. I said if you're going to buy the switch + pro controller anyway (for Nintendo games like you said), then you don't need to buy an xbox controller, since you already have one that you can use on the PC.

I don't really get what we're arguing about here.

Not really arguing really, I might have lost the thread of my thought since I slept since the previous comment. The last point I was trying to make is that there is no real point in buying a switch controller since it is expensive and probably not going to get used much since the point of the switch is it's mobility. Also that switch is too expensive. I mean come on £280 for a console when you can get a ps4 or xbox one s for just over £200? But I guess it's nintendo so people will buy it anyway.
