Why don't consoles like the Switch, the PSP, Vita and the 3DS use USBs instead of SD cards?

They're much less expensive, there's many more in circulation and they're just easier.

Just make a small port that fits most usb sticks and give it some kind of cover to hide the USB.

Because money.

Because using proprietary locked down (and extremely overpriced) SD cards is a deliberate anti-consumer practice.

>easier than just inserting a card into a slot

this is a retarded solution to a problem that doesn't exist. sd cards are cheap as fuck and no more difficult to use than a usb stick

i think you should delete this thread before meaner people see it. you're clearly too autistic to handle the incoming bullying well

So a USB-c port? :^)

Money for who?
companies aren't producing them and USB sticks are cheaper than SD cards


It wouldn't stick out, it would be like a slot that you cover after sticking it in

Therefore
It's not a hard concept.

Oh I do know, that's why it pisses me off

I thought SanDisk cards were far more open?
