The optimizations they mention are probably Switch-specific. It takes a while for a game to be sent off, manufactured onto cards, and shipped to retailers; they're going to use that time to continue to optimize the game, it is after all a demanding PS4/Xbone UE4 title.

The point I was making is if the game is already out on other systems, then clearly whatever this day one patch is could be incorporated into the cart especially if it is coming out in June. Hence my statement great half a game as half the size is downloable.

That might be the case but there is no reason to have a 6GB patch. If most of that file size is "high res" textures that are not required to play the game, make that a separate pack.

To me its an excuse to get a smaller cart. That is fine that is their business choice. I just won't buy it as I chose not to accept such BS.
