Nintendo's biggest ROM chip supplier is bowing out of the business
This is potentially terrible news for those who love physical media.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the story around Nintendo’s chip supplier Macronix leaving the ROM business, but they do so with different emphases. Tom’s Hardware is the only one to say Macronix is redirecting capacity toward NOR and NAND flash chips for AI data centers, while Engadget foregrounds the Switch cartridge angle and adds a brief note about physical media. Ars Technica alone frames the development as a possible issue for physical Switch game costs.
