At the moment, none third party is willing to use 32GB cart for Switch, let alone 64GB, that is developers's choice, not Nintendo so ok or not is meaningless if no one use them. Your portable is digital only so it is necessary for several micro sd cards for both AAA, DLCs and indies. Switch at least use cartridge that can fit 16GB game and use cards for multiplayer. Outside Nintendo games, none buy Nintendo system for Western AAA online multiplayer games so no need for many cards, one 256GB card can be enough. Finally, your handheld will come out next year or even 2020, you would think Nintendo won't release a new Switch with stronger chip at that time when Xavier - X3 came out this year already. 3 years later, it will be a lot cheaper

The pubs/devs, however you want to describe them, aren't willing to use larger carts, which means Switch isn't getting their games. What is wrong with charging more for the game due to a larger cart with higher price? If that's such a problem, Switch will always have to wait for third party games. If this price factor is also such a big issue that third parties don't think the games will sell that way, then selling them digitally online for much cheaper, so a PS portable user can download the game and either leave it on the internal storage, or transfer it to their $50 to $250 micro SD card, which will hold up to 5 AAA or 100 indie games, seems like a much better idea, and much better value for your money. No one buys Nin systems for third party games? I've read that quite a few people have bought into Switch with the promise of third party game support, considering that was part of their main message initially showing off NBA and Skyrim at launch. You say Ryzen is too power hungry at 15w and won't last more than an hour compared to X1, yet Xavier specs were just officially announced days ago to use 30w. The lowest power new Tegra available is X2 which isn't all that more capable than X1 and also consumes 7.5w-15w. Is the new Switch going to be way stronger but only have a half hour battery life, or only slightly stronger but with the same battery life?

People buy Nintendo handheld  for first party and japan third party games exclusive as well as indies. AAA is not really a concern to me. After all, Western gamers want to play on big screen like TV with the best graphic, anyone want the definitive version won't buy a handheld anyway. Charging more or not, if none third party use it then it is useless. And no, many AAA games on Switch like Doom is on 16GB cart with single player, multi is download. Your portable is AAA or indies, Switch is AAA and indies. Nintendo customers always ask for physical even a small indie. I said people won't buy Switch with AAA Western game for multiplayer online because Nintendo online is the weakest, since when i said no one will buy Switch for any third party? You don't seem to remember X1 in Switch is custom and underclock for battery and cooling, they can do the same with X3. Also, games on Nintendo system always have quite lower graphic settings and resolution compared to ps so it will reduce the power hungry as well
