He doesn't make excuses at all because that is his opinion. I share the same, I absolutely do not keep all of my games downloaded and I also doubt millions of other consumers do as well. It's nice and all that Permalite is worried about his physical games in the future and it's unfortunate but it doesn't mean I expect Nintendo to put as much storage in the console as possible because they absolutely will upcharge us. Permalite is right about us as consumers should want as much as possible for our money but we live in the real world where corporate greed will take precedence. What type of prices are you and/or Permalite expecting for Switch 2? What device delivers 256 GB of on board storage with all the other stuff we expect from Switch 2 with a dock for 399.99? Steam Deck 256 GB with LCD and no dock is 399.99. Do you think Nintendo should aim for 399.99 or less if possible? Or should they aim higher and put in more storage?

Comparing steamdeck to switch 2 is like comparing pc box to a ps5 in 2020 these are mainstream products that will sell 90 to 120 million. Steam Deck has only sold like 2 million ww since launch. Nintendo will be getting mass produced deals with much better prices. They can do much better but they will focusing on gimmicks and turning a nice profit day one.

They can probably do better, but that's been their mentality for the most part. Making sure they can profit. Don't most businesses want to make profit for something that's their primary focus? Sony and Microsoft can afford to sell consoles at a loss in the beginning until they can sell for a profit. Nintendo as a company that's primarily a first-party gaming company that just recently started branching out to theme parks and movies/multimedia projects can't afford to waste money or sell at a loss from the start. Previous President Kimishima emphasized on that when the Switch was first being revealed.

Unless you can tell me how Nintendo, a company that has no other primary business to lean on when trouble occurs, would be more aggressive than what the Switch 2 is rumored to be without selling at a loss, then by all means.

This is the same company that doesn't even provide high-tech graphics that we see from FFVII Remake/Rebirth, COD, The Last of Us, etc. Even though some people have long requested them to do such thing? I can see Nintendo sticking to art style and graphics that are great, but not necessarily up to what we saw from the Zelda Wii U demo that we like to imagine it to be, and focus on new gameplay opportunities that a stronger console can provide.
