Dude android games these days are 10gb+

My point being is that the production cost between 256gb and 128gb driver is almost identical and the phone manufacturers purposefully gimp the product to upsell some random bullshit.

And how many people play these games? I don't know a single person that does. For all these people, that much storage would be a waste.

Literally billions of people. Like people forget smart phone games are so far ahead by user count that a single game often has more players than ALL gaming consoles COMBINED. I'm not saying it's great, I'm just saying it's wildly popular.
