| burgerstein said: Cartridges are pretty sweet. And they're more kid friendly, which is very important for the industry. If we get to a point where it costs less than a dollar for 10 gigs of flash memory, the game companies can just raise the price of the game by a dollar. And let's not forget that cartridges don't require cases, I recall SNES games coming in cardboard boxes, so there's the environmental factor as well as a slight reduction in cost. I really miss being able to switch between games in a matter of seconds rather than minutes. |
They require cases when they are the size of SD cards or smaller. Don't expect them to be the sizes of prior console carts. Those days are well over. I can't image how many games would be lost if we didn't have a standard way to store them. They would _still_ probably come in DVD sized cases.
