Concerning the NSP updates. Let's say a game is 1.0 and you install a 1.1 update. Then a 1.2 update arrives. Should you uninstall the 1.1 update with DevMenu (or other) or it's not necessary? I am asking because of the space both might used.
no just install the 1.2 update over it

It is incredible how not one of you saw that he was asking about game updates, not system updates.
So, to provide a sensible answer: Game updates always include previous ones. No need to grab patch 1 through 8 for Mario Kart (for example), just get the latest one.
But why is sometimes the updated file size is smaller than the previous update file size? for example, the dragonball xenoverse 2, update 1.21.01 is 4.7gb and the update 1.21.00 is 5.4gb.

Because the developer decided to remove some files that were only used for testing, or decided to compress some stuff that wasn't very well compressed, or... many possible reasons

    I think the PS3 was the last console that was custom and felt at least slightly home console to me, although the constant updates pissed me off to no end.... "I got a day off from work let's play some games..." Well maybe after the hour long firmware update.... Shit the game needs an hour long update too??
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Microsofts giving us options the other two should've followed with tbh not everyone is going to give a damn about 4k 120fps
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think they should have focused on 1440P and let the TVs handle upscale duty
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My 4K TV admittedly is a higher end one turns 1080P into 4K nicely
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Og switch should've released with 1440p and then release with a cheaper 720p panel at the end
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Switch Ghetto Edition lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Screw a lite they missed an opportunity to sell the screen
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all these retro consoles and Pi owe a large part of their market to home consoles being so expensive and the collectors driving up old consoles to the sky.
  • Faust03 @ Faust03:
    switch 2 will only have 3 games and will be the second coming of the virtual boy
