Do you think game cartridges will make a comeback in video game consoles?

Actually that's a thought I had years ago.

Optical media have many drawbacks: They're huge power consumers because they have to spin, they have long loading times, they're easily damaged, they're big.
Ok, maybe the next console generation will still rely on disks. After that - who knows if downloads won't completely replace ANY physical media?
One thing's for sure: Nintendo will stick to cartridges for their handhelds. If, say, the DS2 is as powerful as the Gamecube, games will roughly be the size of GC games, too. 2-3 GB cartridges won't be more expensive in 2010 than 256 MB cartridges were in 2004 (max DS cart size).

Edit: Just read that shams had already said all that.
