As usual, bigger memory storage costs more. 4 GB SD card costs less than 8 GB and so on. So games probably will use the least available storage to save costs.

But the question is, if 16GB is really a limit, because that would be set by the cartridge interface and protocol. Maybe it is only what is produced as cartridge so far.

Of Course that 16GB inst limit, thats most likly standard size, even Nintendo on Wii U had games that are larger than 16GB but majority of their Wii U games were below 8GB.

(N64) had cartridges in range 32MB–512MB, DS in range of 8MB-512MB i 3DS in range of 128MB-8GB (2GB is standard size for 3DS).

The tweet in the article actually says that:

Looks like standard capacity of Switch game card at least when console launched would be around 16; enough for one-layer Blu-ray game.
