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.

This is false. PS5 has actual physical games. Most in fact have all the data on the disc. It's just a blu ray drive that can only read 100 or so MB a second. Too slow for todays games. So the install is to read the data at the SSD's speed at 5GB a second.
