Your inability to adress the argument suggests you're not interested in discussion, rather than transparently poor attempts at concern trolling.
So Nintendo call a chicken a dog its a dog?
This is no longer a discussion. Sorry, but Nintendo has labeled it a console (well, a hybrid, but still). The product stands with console like features, and thus, it acts as one when you dock it. If you want to play cute and say "oh it's only a tablet or whatever", that still doesn't undermine my overall point which is that
some consumers might not like this because it costs them more.
This isn't even a discussion about what I was originally stating. Nor is it concern trolling. But I'll leave you both to play semantics or whatever in the corner. Have fun!
There is no easy solution to this problem. If you upped to 64gb you're looking at needing an SD card after 2 games instead of 1 (in a worst case scenario where you wanted Dragon Quest and BOTW as your first two games). There's no room for an HDD. And upping to like 128gb or beyond is now becoming quite costly to manufacture and will be a cost passed on to consumers. Nintendo didn't plan for the edge case of the biggest games, which is unfortunate for all-digital consumers, but they're not the average case. From a market perspective, I can't think of anything Nintendo could do to solve the issue without just eating a loss on hardware sales.
There is one benefit here though, which is that when you go physical, you go physical. On PS4/XBO every game is installed, even physical, and some games are easily breaking 60GB after updates. If you've got PS+ / XBLG then your storage has been overflowing for years at this point.
I mean, I fully realize that they'd have to eat the cost once they go over. And they really can't account for third party games going that high. But at the same time, 64 would have at least edged out the room, as not AS many games hit that limit (but still do).
I get that's it's a damned if you do damned if you don't, but that's kinda how it is with consoles. Like you said, I get more space on my PS4, but I still have to install my games.
I do disagree about not being the average case. Nintendo owners probably don't care and are used to this, but newcomers playing third party and going digital in an increasingly digital world are going to not like the initial storage.
