Nintendo Switch: 10 Crucial Pros & Cons You Must Consider

7. Con: Tiny Hard Drive & Reliance On Additional Storage

PS4 and Xbox One owners laughed all the way to the bank when the Switch's internal specs were revealed, as the system only has a paltry 25GB for internal storage (yes, it's advertised as 32, but 7GB is reserved for the system's OS). Sticking to physical cartridges and only using this allocation for saves will see you through, but downloading almost anything off the eShop will see that space filled after only a couple of purchase.

Breath of the Wild, for example, will take up 13.4GB right off the bat, and that's before we get to any of the emulated Virtual Console games you'll want to revisit from console's past. To 'remedy' this, Nintendo have included a Micro SD slot, and have repeatedly mentioned that Micro SD technology now allows for up to extra 2TB of data. The reality though, is we'll have to fork out for additional cards almost immediately.

Remember when the PSP and PS Vita had the exact same approach? It didn't go so well...
