I totally agree, personally I only buy my games physically so I have no issue in the 32GB of memory but, even if I were to use all of them, I'd simply buy an extra micro SD just like most X1/PS4 owners did with the external hard drive. The online hasn't been outlined yet, we just learned that additionally to the online and the NES/SNES online games we will also have discounts for various titles so it's clear that there's more to this paid service than we actually know, plus we don't know how much it costs...

A couple of things, the read speed of the PS4 and Xbox One hard drives is max 6gb/s at stock levels. SSDs as well as SD cards are much faster than this. The cartridges that the Switch will be using are also flash memory and will most definitely outperform 5400 RPM or even 7200 RPM hard drives. It's not a question of if, to me. Of course we do not have official benchmarks yet for the Switch cartridges, but you know as soon as the thing releases there will be side by sides of loading times and consistency and such. Flash memory has come a long way and definitely has surpassed stock hard drives in many ways. Only time will tell though, so we will know in probably a couple of months when the Switch is in everybody's hands.

The cartridges that the Vita uses are also flash memory. Nevertheless some games take up to 2 minutes to load.

tbh it really depends on the game and I'm positive Nintendo has more experience with cartridges than Sony...
