From where exactly? You do understand Switch 2 cartridges are significantly faster than Switch 1 cartridges so they will cost more. Just as SD Express Cards cost more than regular slower SD Cards. Same way you used to be able to buy a 4TB drive for dirt cheap on PS4 because it could use shit ass slow pre-SSD drives. You can't do that anymore, the speed costs money. Likely Nintendo is only ordering 64GB sizes because if they start doing other sizes you don't save any money, it may even cost more money for a bespoke size like 16GB or something because that won't be mass produced in enough quantity to likely get the same price. Likely at 64GB, it cuts back on production complexity so Nintendo can get the price possible price at that size. These things are not that simple. What is even the fucking point of using cartridges in this way anyhow (to just dump the data onto the internal storage)? Like you're not even using the cartridge at all ... at that point what freaking difference does it make whether the data you transfer into your internal storage is from a cartridge or the internet? It makes no damn difference. It's not even a time saver when you consider digital games can be pre-loaded before release or release at 12:01 or whatever so you can have them loaded and be able to play rather than that waiting until the next day for the store to open at 9 AM or for it to ship from Amazon. |
I honestly think you've lost grasp of this topic. If you don't care about preservation of physical media, thats totally fine. Why is it so hard for you to understand that other people do? You're happy with digital (so am I frankly), that doesn't negate other peoples very valid concerns. All this hollering and hooting won't remove those concerns lol
Edit: Specifcally responding to your question about the difference. Not needing the internet to play a game. Not being held hostage to whether a game is still provided on storefronts/servers etc. Ability to play games pre-patch. Recently in fact patches made several PS5 Pro games worse and the only way to play them with their OG performance/image quality was to play without the patch installed.
