Nintendo is trying to get more than one switch per household. This wouldn't be the way to do it. I agree that it would be great for a first time switch owner household, but the backlash (soi boys complaining on twitter) would be insane.  

"too bad, not our problem, buy it again" reminds me how they treat their hardcore base which bought the Wii U and later the Switch (Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 1 + 2, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Captain Toad...)

I caved a bought captain toad twice because of the dlc. The dlc was a joke. Something like 3 extra levels. Also having animal crossing islands being localized to the switch console would be unusual if they expect people to own multiple consoles. 

I doubt that. They aren't forced to buy a digital-only Switch model, they can choose any other Switch model.

This is actually make sense, If Switch lite is handled device only then Switch pro will be console device only with better performance compared to normal Switch.

I have a 64 GB that I bought along with the Switch, but I've been already out of space for quite some months already. I'll buy a 128 GB one eventually, for some reason 256 GB here is pretty overpriced (3 times the price of a 128 GB one), maybe importing is the way to go 

Nintendo making a PSP Go. No thanks. I'm done with modern gaming when physical is not an option.

10 years from now the next generation will laugh at us and ask why we felt the need to put software on individual cartridges or Blurays when there are perfectly fine local storage options. People clinging to physical games is today's version of people clinging to vinyl.

Yea i don't like this. I would rather have them drop the price of the Switch and release a pro version next year instead. Don't see the point of a tv only model if it doesn't even boost the console.

There is a slight difference though

Song file size 20 years ago - 5,2 MB

Song file size now - 5,2 MB

Game file size 20 years ago - 5,2 MB

Game file size now - 52 GB

While I fully agree physicals will definitely become obsolete someday, I'm not really buying the idea that all the storage and internet issues will be solved in that short time. Song and images files hit their plateau many years ago, movies size file is becoming non-issue because streaming can dynamically reduce image quality (also also the quality of the movies are limited by the quality of screens, not every TV has 4K support). Games's size however is growing just as fast as storage devices are becoming cheaper and more reliable, I don't know if it will be a definitive solution for this in the next two generations.
