“For Disgaea 5, Switch sold very well. It sold just under 200k units in the west. Maybe 40 percent of these people already have the PS4 version. Why do they buy the same game again? Because it’s the function of a handheld that the Switch has. And Sony decided to withdraw from the PS Vita market. The memory size limitation of the Vita is just one gigabyte, right? But Disgaea is 8 GB. So Disgaea fans want to play on a handheld, but there is no handheld Disgaea 5 on a Sony format. So this is a perfect platform. We can play at home and we can play outside using the handheld function of the Switch. That is why the Nintendo Switch platform is growing naturally.”

Just one Gigabyte? He should know better, since Disgaea 4 on Vita is 3.3 GB big.

Phantasy Star Online 2 on Vita is 15 GB, Disgaea 5 on PS4 is 10.3 GB and Disgaea 5 on Switch is 6.7 GB.

There may be other limitations on Vita (RAM, processing power)... but the file size ain't one of them.
