As I alluded to in another post in this thread this is downright disingenuous when most of the "physical" games announced for Switch 2 so far are Game Key Cards which have to be downloaded and installed onto the console. Hell, some are just a code in the box. If there is no actual game data on the cartridge how does the Switch 2 have an advantage over the PS4 or PS5 in this regard?

At least on PS consoles the data is on the disc as a backup. You can delete it if you need more space and re-install it without an internet connection. The way things are trending, only Nintendo games will reliably be on the cartridge for Switch 2 games. Since most of a game's library is overwhelmingly 3rd party, it looks like games with data on the cartridge will be the minority.

If it's just a code in a box, then the box will be marked as such afair. Also had been the case on the Switch.

I never suggested otherwise.

I am so baffled by this response because it does nothing to address the substance of my post.

Stated plainly, the situation you are describing of being able to play Switch 2 games directly off the physical cart thus saving storage space on the console appears to be the rare exception rather than the means by which most Switch 2 games will be played. Unless the situation reverses and more publishers release their games fully on the cart.
