On Resetera, few known insiders, said that that some big 3rd party games are on hold and some even cancelled because price/availability of bigger Switch carts,
it's definitely that problem affecting in some degree on 3rd party support for Switch. GTAV and CoD are games that were heavily hinted like some examples.
Saying that WSJ at end of last year reported that 64GB Switch carts are coming in 2019. and probably in same time prices of 32GB and 16GB carts will go down (apparently only one game until now used 32GB cart), so we should have more big 3rd party games next year.
WSJ also last year reported that big 3rd party Japanese games will start showing in 2019. because of time when work on them started (at end of 2017. or early 2018.).

Strange since some months ago there were people swearing that the cartridges weren't more expensive than BD (like couple dollars difference)
|
Couple dollars when we talking about 16GB carts, but with 32GB carts its even bigger difference and thats why no one using 32GB carts, but and even couple dollars per game is clearly less profit for devs when you multiply that with number of sold games.
I admit, I am one of people that were saying that price point difference of carts is not problem that really can effect on 3rd party support in some way, but when you have several very trusted 3rd party insiders with great track record saying otherwise and when you have like fact that no one using 32GB carts on Switch even if they area available from launch, I now think that's definitely problem that affecting on some 3rd partys.

Those are not randoms, they are well know insiders among Switch community and on Resetera. How you talk and think, I would said that you didnt even played games not be part of industry. Did maybe said that La Noire is coming to Switch months before game was even announced at all, did you maybe hinted what 3rd party game will come to Switch and than later that was confirmed? They didnt said CoD or GTA V were in development and canned/shelved, but those games were hinted as one games we talking about. Vern, Benji and NateDrake talked mostly about that and they are trust sources, and Vern is actualy guy that said that LA Noire coming to Switch months before game was even annouced, he has some realible source in Rockstar/TakeTwo.
Point that they found Bayonetta 2 don't have anything with this discussion. Maybe they could eat costs, but later every big 3rd party publisher would expect same for their games, and later even Indies would expect same. We dont have exact details about possible GTA, maybe game was even finished and they waiting for cheaper price point of carts. If they porting game on first place, they would want good profit from start, and that includes profit for phsical copies of games, if we talking about some difference in place other companies would use 32GB cards, but we know thats not case.
So no, like usually your point don't make any sense. Believe in what you want, but dont pretend like its crazy to believe trust sources that were very accurate before.
So same like last time, your logic and points dont make any sense, and you constantly moving goal posts and ignoring facts, so I don't see point of continue discussion with you.

It comes to mind not only those ridiculous specs for NX but also the ludicrous rumor that Sony paid for MHW not to be on Swtich (and only it)... and people swear they were credible insiders.
|
Both those rumours didn't come from any trusted source or source with good track record. People who saying this things about carts are not Metal Dave (he claimed that NX will use AMD and it will be at least strong like PS4), but people from Resetera that are very trusted, Vern, Benji and Nate Drake.
If you are intresting what those guys exactly said about carts problems you can read here, going from page 5.
