Which is a distinct possiblity. The 3DS uses them with up to 8 GB of capacity. With falling flash memory prices, I don't see why the N6 couldn't use 16 or even 32 GB flash RAM carts. |
Regardless of how much the price falls flash memory will always be far more expensive than blank BR disc.
A quick check show me I will pay around £15.00 for a 16GB of any given flash format. For £15.00 I can get a blank 50GB BR-Disc and pay much less for a smaller capacity disc.
From that you can make an educated guess at the production cost and what gives you a bigger bang for your buck.
This is one of the reasons manufacturers drop cartridges in the first place although they do have advantages.
At a time when keeping costs down is vital flash will add to the cost of the game. If the article is correct then Nintendo also thinks Discs are the best option.
