I can agree on the 2nd one about larger boxes allowing for more art in it, but not about shelf space in a store. I don't think it's so much about size, but more so about success of that console, and the size of the store. I've been to different stores and the size of sections have been different. In bigger stores, most consoles have good space, slightly less so for the Wii U. The only one that has the smallest presence in all stores I've been to is the Vita section, and I'm certain we can pin that on the system selling poorly overall and not being a popular console.

Making the Switch cases smaller I don't think would cause the Switch to have a smaller section. It'd be more so for other reasons.

Well even at its peak the 3DS sections were always smaller propotionate to the number of games available compared to Xbone or PS4.  I mean if you have 60 games on the Switch and 60 on PS4 to throw out random numbers, then the 60T Switch games in Vita like boxes would take up less than half the space on a wall that the PS4's games would.  It makes it so that the sections have a physical cap in size. 

Yeah, it would have a smaller section that other console sections due to their different box sizes, but I think it could also be due to the amount of games available for them. The PS3 and 360 have big sections now because there are just so many games available to them, and they're combined with the PS4/XBO sections, so it makes it over all seem large. If the switch has a lot of games come to it, (as well as being a good success) it would have a good shelf size as well.
