Third party developers flocked to the cheaper CD based PS1 over expensive cartridges on the N64. PS1 went on to sell over 100 million consoles, N64 struggled towards 34 million console sales. Using cartridges was a huge mistake for Nintendo instead of adopting CDs. CDs are much cheaper and have better load and memory storage capacities over the now defunct cartridges. Cartridges main benefits over CDs are: they are impossible to pirate and cartridges are more durable than easy to break/scratch CDs.
