lol at people talking about how reliable the old cartridge consoles were.
Who cares? They had no moving parts, and couldn't hold a tenth of what a cd could hold.
Time to move on.

That is NO excuse.

I don't think I am delusional. All I want is new technology that actually is reliable. Is that too much to ask for?

It's not an excuse, it's a tradeoff.

Performance for reliability.

It's possible that consoles could start using cartridges again. Well, really only Nintendo will, because Sony and MS require disc based media as part of their strategy. But, non-disc based media costs a lot more.

Nah, thats BS. Performance will be better and better as time goes by. Does this mean the next gen will only have products that work for 4 months before they break? I don't think so.

No.

The improvement in performance was the move form cartridge to disc. Granted, cartridges read faster, but discs hold more data at a fraction of the cost and read speeds are getting faster all the time.

While performance is improving all the time, I made it pretty clear that the improvement I was talking about was the switch in media device.
