I find it funny that Nintendo felt the need to charge 60 bucks for their games. Explains a little why PS1 dominated the N64.

Most likely they had no choice since the cartridges were much more expensive to make than CD's. Now, I still understand your point because they allegedly charged 70 to 90 bucks for a game, while the PS1 games stayed at 40, sometimes 50 bucks.

But why did Nintendo have to go with cartridges in the first place? That affected them negatively A LOT during the 5th gen.. :-/
