For my personal leisure I could live with all 3rd parties not releasing on PS4.

And sure it would be better to have the full game on the disc.

But I'm just thinking it is funny to demand that all games that take more than 16GB (on the case of PS4X1 and that is what Switch is asking for, all games take more than that) go for bigger cart buy thinking it is unnaceptable to ask Nintendo for bigger HDD. And in the case of the HDD the cost would be only once, and if the person use downloadble games or want DLC or patches most games will install on the HDD.

For all I care Nintendo can have only 1st party with no DLC and patches, with all games releasing fully on the disc. But then again I'm not complaining of most 3rd parties practices on Nintendo and saying I won't support it and then complaining of the lack of support.

What did I say about the expectation that a physical version of a game should be a physical version? It's reasonable. And because of that, the fault and blame rests entirely on the shoulders of third parties, because it's an irrefutable fact that physical versions are possible.

You constantly try to point out hypocritical and unreasonable behavior of other people, but you are slowly turning into the worst culprit of all of them.

No hypocrisy on saying if we are ok with asking 3rd parties to release on higher cartridges even if it will cost more then no problem with Nintendo releasing higher memory for Switch even if costing then more.

And I don't remember the last time a phisical game I bought in PS4 didn't need an install and download. I certainly don't like it, but if PS4 didn't had enough memory for even one or two games installed then it would be a big issue.

I have to tell you the hard truth that the past doesn't come back, you either get with the times or get out. Once that became a standard it won't revert

And that is the attitude that lead us to these giant madatory installs and microtransactions.

It's not an unreasonable demand when the company is charging $10 more for their game on the Switch than on other consoles saying it's due to the cartridges costing more. The price difference between the smallest cartridge and the 32 gb cartridge is not more than $10, so if we are forced to pay and extra $10 then why is the game not on the biggest cartridge?

If cartridge costs are why the thing is $10 more, then why is digital not $10 less than physical? Rockstar is flat out ripping off Switch owners with teh pricing. They are using the cartridge as an excuse to price gouge some extra money. I have no issue with them charging $10 more for teh game due to cartridge costs, but when they use a smaller cartridge, then it is bullshit.

A cartridge will already cost you more than a disc. So a penny for the disc versus 10 USD for the disc is already standard for the publisher to make the same per unit on both formats. The 32GB card would have to cost even more. So you would either ask they to profit less or charge more, both of which I suspect one of the two involved parties wouldn't like. You aren't forced, you can buy or not. And Nintendo choose the form to store the games. I know some wanted even Sony to go for 100GB cartridges for PS5, they would also certainly complain of games costing 80 USD or more.

The digital isn't less than the phisical for the same reason why they aren't on PS4 and X1, because that would make the retail stores pissed.

You said yourself, the difference between the 32 to 16 is 10 USD, but since the 16 doesn't cost 0, then it would need 10 extra charged.
