All snark aside, I do think the Switch is in a unique position. I don't think FFXV's sales is a PlayStation issue, but rather a home console issue. Switch has the advantage of being something else. But if the Switch'S storage is a limited as the rumors suggest, none of that will matter. Every Nintendo system since the N64 came with a 3rd party Achilles Heel, and space might be it for the Switch.

If you can't make a game fit on 32GB storage IMO (you can even go a little over thanks to today having DLC, so you could offload 8GB more say if it was really a big deal) ... you've massively fucked up somewhere. There's a lot of bloat and nonsense in today's games, time to program more efficiently. 

This is hardly the days of the N64 where a N64 cartridge could only store 1/20th of a CD-ROM. 

It doesn't matter what you think though. The fact is that games ARE that bloated, and thanks to PS4 and XBO, devs don't have to care. With Switch, storage is assumed to have a massive bottleneck, and that's a huge issue for third party support, no matter who's fault it is. It's Nintendo's job to accommodate developers, not the other way around.

And 32GB is not the rumored standard card size on the Switch: 16GB is. That means that 32GB cards will be more expensive and 64GB even more expensive still, which was the EXACT issue the N64 had.
