Alright let's go ahead and put a mechanical 5400rpm or 7200rpm drive in the Switch and see how fast the OS is then.
Nintendo went with flash memory for a variety of reasons and that's one of them. The console being an on the go machine is another. HDDs would wear out so fast and they go bad faster.
They could (and should have) had the base model at 64GB but I don't make those decisions. MicroSD isn't super expensive if you need a little more storage.
Physical games are a better value proposition for anything above 6GB in size due to load times, reselling ability and being able to share games with friends.
That's really about all I have for this topic.
I guess Mario Kart is bigger on the Switch due to the battle mode stuff and possible texture improvements. Who knows.
