less than 1tb seems pointless

[-] ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

If it has a SD slot, 1TB seems like overkill. The top Steam Deck only has 512GB.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Games are hitting 150gb+ these days.. 512gb ain't shit

[-] szczuroarturo@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Not the switch ones.

[-] ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Switch games aren't; the large ones are 20-50GB. And you can just toss in a 1-2 TB SD card if you need more storage.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Right, the console that has the worst hardware doesn't have big games, shocker..

[-] haych@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Yet many Steam Deck owners upgrade it to 1 or even 2TB internal SSD, plus a 1TB SD card.

[-] McBinary@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

For how cheap NVMe is, it's ridiculous that any console is less than 2TB by default. It's just a way for them to monetize on selling additional storage.

[-] szczuroarturo@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Thats exatcly what it is. Have you ever checked how much premium you pay for storage upgrades on pc? Twice as much minimum.

[-] atocci@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I think the Steam Deck tops out at 512GB as well, so it's pretty reasonable IMO.

I’m fine with a 32Gb Switch, I just don’t want it to run at 720p 30fps

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's a cheaper console targeted more for kids and casual gamers. Having a high end with 1tb is fine but I'm happy having SD expansion.
