Capcom's confirmation that Onimusha: Way of the Sword will run at 30 FPS on Switch 2 arrives not as a scandal but as a quiet negotiation between hardware ambition and human habit. The game's deliberate, soul-absorbing combat rhythm may forgive what a faster title could not, yet the deeper question this announcement surfaces is not about frames at all — it is about the cost of belonging to a platform. When a terabyte of storage demands the price of a console, the act of choosing where to play becomes a philosophical one about access, loyalty, and the quiet weight of infrastructure.

Consumers face trade-offs between platform convenience and storage costs; expensive proprietary expansion cards (£357/1TB) may drive players toward external storage solutions or limit game libraries, potentially reducing engagement and digital spending.
Potential regulatory scrutiny on proprietary accessory pricing practices and anti-competitive storage lock-in strategies; consumer protection agencies may examine whether manufacturers are exploiting captive markets for high-margin accessories.
