Also where are you getting loading will be just as fast for the switch 2? I'm not aware of anything remotely as fast as M2 storage and there is a zero percent chance the switch 2 uses M2. Way too expensive and way too hot. The ps5 read speed via M2 is 5,500 mbps, the fastest SD I'm aware of is going to top out at 300 mbps.... not even in the same ballpark. And M2, as mentioned earlier, runs super hot. It requires a heatplate with PC builds. Storage is my biggest concern for the switch 2. Not sure how carts will handle modern big games from both a size and speed perspective. Rebirth is 150 gb.... |
The difference between load times for an NVME drive and much slower SATA SSDs (that are rated around the 300 MBps mark you mentioned) are minimal when it comes to most games.

My guess though is the Switch 2 will have UFS and they'll use slower proprietary carts with mandatory installs for certain, large asset, titles.
UFS 3.0 should get near NVME PCI-E 3.0 speeds and it is designed for mobile platforms, so the heating issue is somewhat resolved. With UFS 4.0 being the new standard, prices shouldn't be too bad either.

There is also the matter that the Switch 2 titles will have much smaller assets to load.
