Is Switch 2's 256gb on par or worse than PS5's 825 launch model?

Switch 2 is better because it has actual physical games unlike the PS5 which forces everything to be copied to the SSD. As such, the amount of space that games take up measures in the MBs instead of the GBs.

As for third party ports? I am not going to pretend that people will be in a rush to buy the worst versions of multiplats.

Do you work at Nintendo?

No, I just have a habit of pointing out facts that are commonly and at times conveniently forgotten about. Digital Mario Kart World takes up 23.4 GB of space, but physical MKW only needs MBs for its save data. Same story for other physical games, so you'll need to buy a dozen or so of them to even fill up a single GB on the internal storage. Add some potential DLCs and patches and you are still looking at only ~20 GB for the whole bunch with most of that going to DLCs. That's why it's manageable to make 256 GB in a Switch 2 last longer than 825 GB in a PS5.

If I worked for Nintendo, I would say that game-key cards are just as good as game cards and that everyone should buy all the amazing third party multiplats and pick up a Nintendo-branded micro SD express card along with them.
