Nintendo may as well go full crossgen for a while and take advantage of the Switch 1 playerbase. Because the Switch 2 situation is a catastrophe in the making. NAND cartridge and LPDDR prices are out of control. LPDDR has it worse than DDR which in turn has it worse than GDDR.

It will be the final nail in the coffin of physical if Nintendo increase the gap more between physical and digital prices, and 3rd parties start following suit, which I very much hope they do (instead of keeping price parity while raising it), because I've been full digital since last gen, if some folks value physical so much that they're willing to pay the price for it, don't drag me along that spiky road.

Yeah I think Nintendo's going to try exacly this, because in the near future, they're gonna need to sell physical at more than double the digital price to make the same amount of money. I expect a minimum gap of $20 soon in an attempt to accelerate digital adoption. But who knows how the larger Nintendo community will take this?

In the case they successfully transition the vast majority of players to digital or GKC, Switch 2's limited storage will be a problem.
