No, the cartridges had a very limited amount of Space and the returns were higher for optical media than for cartridges. This is what lead to a lack of support for the N64. The Gamecube had more third party support but the mini disk only held 1.5 GB of data while the PS2 and the Xbox used standard DVDs that could hold 4.7 GB of data. Developers had to make too many sacrifices to work with the mini Disk. The Wii on the other hand does not suffer from this. However, developers and publishers bet their money on the Xbox 360 and PS3 believing that this generation would be a battle between Microsoft and Sony. They set their budgets accordingly and this gen has been the result of this belife.
If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
