It's less about that and more about shelf space and presentation. If the cases were Vita case sized, the shelf space the Switch would get in stores would be drastically reduced and the Switch sections in stores would always be far smaller than other sections even if they had a comparable number of new releases, meaning they would have to somehow significantly outpace MS and Sony to have the same shelf presence. Also, box art is a big element of that on-the-shelf presence/marketing as it can catch the eye of passers and pick up sales from day to day store foot traffic. Larger boxes make the art much, much easier to see and grab attention. |
I agree with your point. It's more abt grabbing people's attention than anything
