Would anything have been any better had the N64 had discs instead of Cartridges?

I think things could be VERY different today, yes. Nintendo lost way too much ground for Sony and let Sony get all third-party support in a single gen.

Going cartridges for N64 was possibly one of the biggest mistakes ever in the videogame market. EVER.

I was so pissed off at the time... At the end I got a PlayStation and Saturn, skipped Nintendo since then...
