I never doomed them at all i said it might slow down switch 2 sales and hype down  a bit, but that's for another thread. He makes a excuse for everything 256gb is not enough space for something expected higher then ps4 level graphics, especially when permalite gives him great reasons as to why people will end up with games that don't even work in the far future. 

He doesn't make excuses at all because that is his opinion. I share the same, I absolutely do not keep all of my games downloaded and I also doubt millions of other consumers do as well. It's nice and all that Permalite is worried about his physical games in the future and it's unfortunate but it doesn't mean I expect Nintendo to put as much storage in the console as possible because they absolutely will upcharge us. Permalite is right about us as consumers should want as much as possible for our money but we live in the real world where corporate greed will take precedence. What type of prices are you and/or Permalite expecting for Switch 2? What device delivers 256 GB of on board storage with all the other stuff we expect from Switch 2 with a dock for 399.99? Steam Deck 256 GB with LCD and no dock is 399.99. Do you think Nintendo should aim for 399.99 or less if possible? Or should they aim higher and put in more storage?

Comparing steamdeck to switch 2 is like comparing pc box to a ps5 in 2020 these are mainstream products that will sell 90 to 120 million. Steam Deck has only sold like 2 million ww since launch. Nintendo will be getting mass produced deals with much better prices. They can do much better but they will focusing on gimmicks and turning a nice profit day one.

Then you just re-download the game if your SD Card has an issue, it's not that big of a deal. You should be able to keep your save files on the main storage.

You should be able to keep your save files on the main storage.

I've used SD Cards with the Switch and even prior to that for years and have never had a problem.

This isn't just an issue for Switch 2, for PS5/XBox most people are already not keeping all their games actually downloaded all at once on their internal storage. 

It's simply the reality of an industry that's going all digital, you keep the games you play most on board, delete stuff you don't play as much in the moment, if you want to revisit those games you can always put it on cold storage or back up or redownload it. 

The important thing for Switch 2 is the main storage is large enough to handle any single kind of game, that way the publisher can port to the system and be assured a player if they really want to can play the digital only version of the game without needing an add-on SD Card or whatever. 

But I get your point.  Based on rumors/leaks, the Deck 2 and Ally 2 will outclass the S2 with ease..  but neither of them will have Nintendo S2 1st party games.

I never realised it took more graphics power. Maybe they can personalise the screen to look similar like some TV's that have that fake HDR dynamic preset, have to assume they'll use OLED also. 

If Nintendo and Nvidia are going to use 4nm, it would be wise for them to adopt Lovelace as is rather than go through the trouble and port the Samsung Ampere to tsmc.

Downloading a Terabytes worth of data is not a 5 minute job.

Or via Cloud... If it wasn't hidden behind a pay wall.

Anecdotal evidence is only evidence for anecdotes.
In short... Your argument here is completely irrelevant.

The electrical charge stored in NAND's cells discharge over time. This is a blatant fact, we are beholden to the laws of Physics, your anecdote cannot erase this fundamental fact.

Factors that accelerate the issue are: How often it's used/recharged, current wear rate, temperature it's stored at, silicon quality, geometry transistor size and more.

There is a reason -why- data centers don't use NAND Flash to store data for archival purposes, it's extremely unreliable... Anyone who argues otherwise literally has no idea.

It's also the reason why consoles like the WiiU will brick themselves if you don't use them.

Playstation 5 and Xbox Series has the option of augmenting their storage with non-NAND options.

I was a PC gamer living in the digital-only world years before consoles went digital.

It's convenient having a wide-array of titles installed and updated and ready to play.

Again... I don't have the time nor care factor to install and update a title because I feel like playing it on a whim, that crap can take hours... I've literally turned my console off and jumped on my PC because of that inconvenience.

No. It's important to hold multiple large games. Not singular.

It's a portable device first and foremost, cellular data tends to be relatively expensive compared to other options, you aren't going to uninstall a 100GB+ game and download another 100GB+ game to play on the bus.

Not an issue if you can have both installed.

You haven't been paying attention then. PC has been getting Switch exclusives... And sometimes even before release date on Switch.
Legalities are a little bit meh, but they are available.. And run and look better.

It does. It's why Microsoft increased the clockrates on the Xbox One S over the base Xbox One.

Honestly, I am okay with Ampere, it's capable with the features like Ray Tracing.
I just want more Ram to let the current hypothetical ampere-based GPU breathe.

And going Ampere would certainly be a cost-cutting measure as it's not the latest and greatest nVidia has to offer, so Nintendo likely got a good deal on the SoC's.

Sadly switch games can only be copied to SD and not from SD to HDD for col storage. Even if you do find a way to clone say the SD card and store on PC, it seems like that game data is tied to you console anyway, so a new switch wouldn't even play the data.
