There's no need for an excuse to take a dig at you for your lack of common sense. It's an observable truth.

1. The first two realistic options for increased storage are a 64GB model and a 128GB model. That's pretty much the industry standard for how storage capacities evolve. While 64GB should be enough for virtually any third party, we'll go with 128GB in order to leave not the smallest bit of doubt that any third party game can fulfill your conditions.

2. You say that an SKU with more storage will have to cost more than the current SKU. That is a sensible statement. We take that 128GB model from above and assign a $350 retail price to it. That's the lower end of your suggested price range, so you should consider this fair.

So $350 for a Switch SKU with 128GB. That's what Nintendo should do.

Can you reply to people you clash with without resorting to petty insults and question their intelligence all the time?

You annoy the crap out of me (and probably many others) when you do that.

Some people on these forums have a very "badgering the witness" style and care more about "winning" arguments by turning the discussion into a back-and-forth contest of jab and counter-jab.  It's more like a political debate than a discussion and really goes nowhere.  Worse, some people are allowed to go further than others, though I'm not sure why (hm).  It certainly is annoying when you're trying to have an honest exchange of opinions.

On topic, I very much agree with Zekkyou.  Compression and file size are mostly matters of choice, type of content, or time limitations rather than one video-game company supposedly having technology no one else can touch.  That's not to say Nintendo doesn't have great techniques for reusing assets, which is the foundation of compression, but rather that they also prioritize compression, their content often lends itself well to smaller files, and they're a large and wealthy company without the worry of rushing a game out the door to pay the bills or meet a deadline.
