People seem to think the switch 2 will have enough power to get modern AAA ports... not sure how happy third party developers will be about having to put their games on a 128 gb high speed cartridges, because there is zero chance current switch cartridges have fast enough read speeds for modern AAA titles.

The reason people expect significant jump in internal storage is for third party support.  

The only way 128 gb makes sense is if Nintendo wants shitty third party support.  

Dude, I need a 128 GB to fill games in my Switch if the next gen average size is at least 4 times bigger on average of course I will need to have a 512 GB SSD card at least. This whole conversation makes me thing you don't have Playstation or Xbox because if you think storage for those systems were as cheap as 128 SSD cards then I have bad news. In 2019 I have bought 128 for cheap price, but even in 2025 a 512 GB will be far far more expensive, five times more expensive to be precise. 

I buy smaller sized games because those are the games available on the system. I mean of you are only planning to buy indies and smaller Nintendo games then maybe 128 GB is enough. If you want to play any kind of AAA western game be prepared to buy a couple of 1 TB SDD cards as other stated here them being over 100 GB is not uncommon. 

The difference between me buying a 140 USD card and Nintendo selling a 50 USD more expensive system is quite clear. Nintendo can buy millions of components and put them on the system to resell them as lower price. 

There is absolutely nothing affordable in spending over a hundred bucks to fill more than 10 games in a system by the way. But I guess you are just blind with the view Nintendo provides "affordable" systems while Xbox is literally selling a 300 machine that can play fucking Starfield, and you don't even need to pay for it if you subscribe to GP. The affordable company in the market is Microsoft not Nintendo but I digress 

8 inch screen I think is too big for my liking.
Probably too heavy too.
I hope it have a smaller version.

The reason why I expect a significant jump is because it's par for the course for Nintendo.

Also, AAA games are the shitty third party support. However, every gen the discussion is about what Nintendo must do to get those supposedly important games. This is why sales predictions for Switch were so way off the mark. People's logic was that Switch hardware isn't good enough, therefore no AAA games, therefore no sales.

The first question that people should ask regarding AAA third party games should always be if any given third party is even interested in selling their games on a Nintendo console. Since the honest and realistic answer will be "no" most of the time, much of the storage discussion is moot anyway.
