Why are we still using discs instead of cartridges?

I'm interested in neither. Downloadable games are all I care about. I know that won't happen, I have heard most of the US still has dial-up Internet or no access at all. But if Nintendo could make a disk-free version of the console for cheaper, at least in Europe, I'd be all over that.

heh, I don't think it's as bad as dial-up. More that a lot of people still have data caps so digital only isn't really feasibly for them.

Data caps are pretty rare and pretty high when they do exist (500GB /month.) US ISPs charge more based on speed rather than charge by data caps because it is more profitable that way.
