How will be Switch 2 performance wise?

I'm a little skeptical of this newest Switch 2 leak. While it would be great to have a Switch 1 card slot, it raises alot of questions. Switch 2 needs fast storage, it can't have last gen storage speeds again, and I'm doubtful that Nintendo will be able to get faster Switch 2 cards and slower Switch 1 cards to work in the same slot, which would mean they would need 2 cart slots, which seems fairly pricey to me. On top of that, physical carts with the kind of transfer speeds and sizes that Nintendo is going to need for next gen games (at 70 GB to fit the larger next gen games, and at least 1 GB/s in transfer speed I'd assume, considering Xbox Series is like 2,4 GB/s and PS5 5.5 GB/s) seem like they would be prohibitively expensive.

It seems to me like they're going to have to either make a choice of making a console with a very high bill of materials and expensive carts that end up cutting into their profit alot, or make the choice to have last gen storage speeds, which is going to make porting PS5/XS games to Switch 2 nearly as difficult as porting PS4/XB1 games to Switch 1 was.

I mean didn't the 3DS have one slot too? And didn't it also have faster card speeds than DS? What is so amazing about that. Game Boy Advance was the same story, one slot for old GB carts and new GBA carts. 

This is going to cost $400, quite possibly there might even be a higher end SKU which costs even more than that ($450?). 

It's 2024, you're not paying the same for anything as you were 10 years ago.
