Well look at the Wii U. It had only 8GB of internal memory for the basic model and only 32GB for the deluxe. Granted digital distribution didn't have as much traction then as it does today but still. Those were paltry numbers even for that time. Then there was the 3DS... and while the file sizes were smaller just by virtue of lower resolutions and it being a dedicated handheld it only came with a measly 4GB SD card, which if you got something like Resident Evil Revelations it took up like 75% of that. Also if you look at Nintendo's history they haven't really done a traditional console since the GameCube and have always seemed to go off in their own direction when it comes to storage, arguably to their detriment. They insisted on sticking with cartridges with the N64 instead of embracing significantly cheaper optical media that had much more storage space that developers wanted (at the cost of loading times of course) and it made some games cost more than they do today. And then when they finally did adopt optical media with the GameCube they used a mini disc instead of a full-sized one. As much as I have been a fan of Nintendo's franchises over the years you have to admit that as it pertains to storage in particular they have made some rather questionable decisions and don't generally give us the kind of space and flexibility that the dedicated gamers among us would probably want.
