Am I being stupid by pointing out that cartridges means games won't need to be installed?

DLC could be added to the cartridge, no?

Cartridges (SD cards in disguise) could be 512GB

Am I missing something? I thought one of the bonuses of carts is instant play without installing?

Can the current 128GB limit be updated later for 256 and 512?

1. I'm aware that you won't need to install physical Switch games, which is great. The size limit is bad for those who were hoping to go digital only this gen though.

2. Not sure if that's possible or not. 

3. I think they're rumored to be 36 GB cartridges, but it's been awhile since I saw that particular specs leak. 

4. Not sure if you can boost a size limit like this with a firmware update or not. 

Cart size can be changed if a game requires it. If 36 is standard now, then 128 isnt out of the question.

PS4 still uses blurah, no? That's only 50 a disk.

The carts could also accept micro SD cards, hmmmm.
