| LordTheNightKnight said: You're still assuming that price and mass production are the main factors, and that other things are less likely to sprout up. What if a solid state drive for home games becomes an option again (which has the advantage in loading times and durability)? And basing it on SD and DS cards would mean they ALSO have lots of possible vendors at a low cost. It's just a possibility, but it's your insistance those other possibilities are less likely and important that I am calling you on. |
And how would you have backwards compatibility with existing Wii games using a solid state format?
Including a disc drive just for backwards compatibility seems like a waste to me.
I never said it was impossible to have a better format. Just unlikely. I believe it's quite possible that Nintendo will come to the same conclusion with Blu-Ray as they did with DVD -- it's the best format choice, even if they opt to make a few modifications.
Things like a solid state drive I just don't see happening. Not unless they are going to ditch retail for digital downloads entirely, which I see as even less likely.
