I would guess if we go all digital distribution with solid state hard drives, reliability will go back up to SNES/Genesis standards, or even better. The problem with consoles with hard drives and diskdrives/lasers is all the moving parts. There is no plastic or metal that can move back and forth or spin forever, it WILL break eventually. Personally, I think we should go back to cartridges, I mean we can do 32GB SD cards, why couldn't we do 32GB (or more) cartridges? Then it's all solid state, no moving parts, and old schoolers like me still get our physical game.
