Actually, I think the PS3 comparison is a GREAT example. Better than the earlier bicycle/motorcycle example.
Substitute PS3/Xbox/Wii with tablet. You could theoretically ask, why would anyone ever buy a PS3/Xbox/Wii when they could buy a PC to use for gaming? For the same price, you can get a better processor, more RAM, and a bigger hard drive and still play games. Why does anyone who already owns a PC buy those game consoles?
The answer is that people buy those game consoles for a better or different gaming experience.
People are buying iPads because they offer a different, and dare I say better, experience for many things than a laptop/desktop.
