Cartridges made the N64 a better console, not a worse one.


Technically speaking, CDs would have helped the console greatly, as they have considerably more space and are much cheaper to make. I have always believed that if N64 had been a CD based console, that it would have retained many of the big games/franchises that migrated over to PSX that generation.

 

However, on a personal level, I tend to agree with you. It was nice/neat in a way, that N64 was the last cartridge based home console. The space limitations were no fun, but the good developers did still manage to do some great things within that.
