lol no one is going to stuff full games onto a cartridge. You're going to have to download data and that's just how it's going to be. Even PS5/XSX games don't come fully on discs these days.

No one is going to want to pay the premium on extra cartridge space unless Nintendo subsidizes the cost IMO. Why should I as a publisher pay for a 64GB card for example when 32GB costs me less? You can download the rest. I'm not having my art staff redo the textures at some super low resolution either. Download it and tough shit if you don't like to do that. If anything what I think will happen is physical releases will become more and more of a limited print run type of thing made only for people who really, really, really won't buy anything but. They're going to want most people to buy digital because they make a lot more money per sale with digital. 

Apple iPhones are going to be PS4 quality maybe starting in like a week. Future iPhones will then go above that year after year. iPads and Macbooks will be beyond that. An M2 chip is closer to an XBox Series S. Don't think it's too smart for Nintendo to rest on their laurels here. They're not just going to be competing against more niche products like a Steam Deck any more and even those types of bulky handhelds are starting to get more of a mainstream push, walking into a Best Buy last week they had a giant "ROG Ally Is Here" promo sign outside the front door.
