Switch 2 should have used PS5 strategy regarding physical media

The easiest and best solution would be that third parties compress the data and put the whole game on a proper game card.

What annoys me the most about this recurring discussion is that so many of you start with the premise that third parties cannot possibly do the above and therefore we must think about multiple extra steps to arrive at a better solution than what third parties are doing now, yet this new solution is still tremendously inferior to doing it the right way.

Yes, a Switch 2 game card is more expensive to produce than a Switch 1 card , so this necessitates that Switch 2 owners are willing to pay more for games now. This may sound like a risky situation for third parties, but this potential problem was already solved before it could become a problem. Nintendo themselves raised their own game prices and set the new standard to accomodate for the higher production costs of Switch 2 game cards.

The problem is 3rd parties are already charging more for games for game-key-cards, same price as Nintendo full physical games. The price also caused PS5 games to jump up. Nintendo created a monster lol.
