Remember that the Xbox Series S has only 364GB of usable storage space. I don't think that Nintendo's new OS needs that much space, so you probably have ~230GB of usable storage space on the Switch successor, which is not that much less than on the Series S.

The solution is to use an SD card. We all have a few spare laying around. 1TB and 1.5TB micro SD cards are cheaper than the Xbox 1TB proprietary cards.

I think people expecting all next-gen games to run off a slow SD card are in for a wake-up call. There's a reason PS5 and XS restrict next-gen games to SSD's and not USB HDDS. Storage expansion on Switch 2 may be more expensive than you think.

Or we're in for another gen with awful load times on a Nintendo console. The internal storage is 2100mb/s, a 100mb/s SD isn't going to cut it.

Switch 2 will use SD cards, but probably not the ones you've been using everywhere else.

Hopefully the dock also has an nvme slot or at least support for USB SSDs.
