@IceClimbers Ugh, I really need one. My 400 has been full for a while, and the 512 is just not worth the upgrade. But at the same time, if I wait a year it'll probably be a third the price.
@link3710
Hmm... while anything is possible, I doubt we’ll see the 1TB go for 1/3 of this price, even a year from now. I think at best, it may potentially get this low for MSRP, but even on sale, I’m thinking $150 is probably the range we’ll be looking at this time next year. Unless you find a killer Black Friday deal for holiday 2021, maybe we could see $99.99 but, that’s not even half the price.
It’s a good chunk of change, but for what you’re getting, it’s a fantastic price. 1TB SSDs for PS5/X1 are $220-230 each. And yes, they’re SSD, but this is micro SD the size of your pinky nail. $180 is absolute fire for one of these bad boys.
Of course, if you want to wait you will likely be able to get it cheaper eventually. The question is how much cheaper and how long will you have to wait... and personally I don’t foresee it being that much cheaper for some time. Even if a 2TB releases, I doubt this will drop below $100 even by the end of next year. Which... that’s a fair bit of savings, to be sure. But it’s also a 14 month wait, and a roll of the dice it’ll actually drop that low.
Just food for thought. As an alternative you could always buy the plastic Nyko kickstand and just grab another 400gb to store in the kickstand, and swap as needed. Not as elegant or convenient, but definitely cheaper.

@Magician I'm not even sure the next gen consoles would be 2nd and 3rd. The big selling point for both systems is play your old games with better resolution and/or framerate as well as faster load times. While it is a big deal and Digital Foundry does a fantastic job showing it on the Xbox Series X side (Sony's still being awkwardly secretive), I'm not sure the general public that goes to buy a console over the holiday is going to care that much. It'll potentially be like "PS4/XB1 plays CoD, FIFA, Cyberpunk, etc. so there's no need more money on the next gen systems".
To be honest the sales stats I'm most interested about this holiday is Age of Calamity. Warriors games are kind of a niche but Age of Calamity is an official canon prequel to BotW (the most successful Zelda game) and will probably also reveal some insights into BotW 2.
@JaxonH Usually I'd agree but... I'm trying to save up right now, so no unnecessary purchases from me. And a 1TB Micro SD for the switch is definitely unnecessary, if convenient.

@NESlover85 A physical "all on the cart" re-release of Pokemon Sword/Shield which also has the expansion pass on the cart, that and Age of Calamity are it for the holiday so far.

And Pikmin 3 Deluxe, which releases October 30th, just 3 weeks before Hyrule Warriors.
Basically it’s Pikmin and Hyrule Warriors for this Holiday season, then early next year we kick it off strong with Mario 3D World followed by Monster Hunter Rise (which... admittedly, isn’t 1st party, but it is exclusive and strongly identified with Nintendo as they published previous titles like MH3U in the west).

The 1TB microSD card is down to $182.99 on Amazon for prime day. Pretty sure that's the lowest it's ever been.
I still have plenty of space on my 512GB card so I'll hold out until next year but mannnn is it tempting.
That bodes well for black friday. Gonna need a second 1 TB. (Really can't wait for 2 TB) I would have loved to have bought one today but I snagged two of the 1 TB ssd for my ps4 and xbox one. (since I'm not getting the new systems I figure I'd settle in with these)

I've seen some cray cray guesses that Age of Calamity will be a 10m+ seller. I think 10m is way too bold of a guess. Don't get me wrong, the game looks good. But I believe Hyrule Warriors didn't even reach 1m copies sold. Although I love musou games, the genre isn't that popular.

@Magician actually Hyrule Warriors was the first Warriors to sell a million copies and that was on the Wii U, it's probably sold alot more thanks to the Switch and 3DS versions but yeah, 10m is insane.
What are the blockbuster launch titles for Series X/PS5? I haven't really seen anything other than Spider Man, and that's not... a "full" game from what I understand? It's like an add-on and they changed his face to reflect the Marvel Universe?
@rallydefault It's a somewhat shorter side game, ala Torna: The Golden Country or Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Should still be a full experience, however, even if it's not officially Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
@Magician@jump I think it'll sell a couple of million copies, if only because of the connection to BotW, which is a wildly popular entry in the series.
But yeah, 10M is nuts. The game is NOT going to sell that well, lol.
@rallydefault Basically it's kinda like how Uncharted The Lost Legacy compliments Uncharted 4 or how Majora's Mask compliments Ocarina of Time. It's a direct narrative sequel to the previous game that reuses the same game world and overall mechanics with some new additions and quality of life improvements over the preceding game.

The reason why I have been wondering and asking about Nintendo's release schedule/games coming to the switch is because about or getting on for two years ago I was fed up of the switch and sold my entire collection of games to get a GPD win 2. The screen on it broke(they are known for doing that) and I was unable to get my money back. That is why I have been so asking so much about these kind of things. In the hope I can rebuild my collection.
@IceClimbers that a tempeting offer for me to replace my 125 GB SD cart to this more space option, i might need a SD cart with more space considering, i gonna have Monster Hunter Rise, Hyrule Warriors:Age of Calamity, Bayonetta 3, Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 4.
