Even today it's not like that much storage is in very cheap devices.
The 512GB Steam Deck is $550. Phones and tablets with 512GB on board tend to be like $800-$1000.
Would I like the world inside a Switch 2? Sure but it also likely can't be priced at $500-$600. For $400-$450, you have to make some pragmatic choices.
256GB is enough to ensure even the biggest modern games can be downloaded straight onto the fast internal storage with room left over, and then there will be several cheap options for people who want extra storage past that. SD Cards only get cheaper and bigger with time and now we have a big manufacturer in Samsung also pushing higher speed cards, so that's all good news.
I was honestly expecting 128GB ... 256GB IMO is Nintendo's concession to 3rd party publishers because Nintendo's own games sure as fuck don't need that much storage space.
