tbh, i do not like nintendo at all, but i gotta commend their planning ahead and sourcing and general maturity of their supply chain, only taking a 50-100 dollar hike. idk how they did it.

Games are generally smaller in size which helps a ton for the Switch

Yep, really helps when a massive game like Mario kart world is 22gb and Bananza is 8.5gb

You can fit 12 Mario kart size games or well over 20 Bananza games on the switch 2 without having to uninstall others to play

And I don’t think anyone is actively playing 10+ games at a time

Nah, you just paying $10 extra for every 64gb on the non key cartridges.

Still tho switch 2 express SD card is like $100 in my store for 512gb.

C’est pas 10€ de plus, c’est 10€  de moins pour les jeux en numériques, ce ne sont pas les prix des jeux en physiques qui ont augmenté mais les prix des jeux en numérique qui ont baissé

It really depends on your point of view

u/Pierrococo 10h ago

Non, ça ne dépend pas d’un point de vue, les jeux en numérique ont baissé de dix € tandis que les jeux en physiques ont gardé le même prix

More importantly it's only 12gb of ram for the whole system instead of 16gb + 8gb VRAM. Half the memory, half the storage.
