This thread deserves a bump. In fact it deserved a bump a full month ago when Reggie had an interview with Polygon (http://www.polygon.com/2015/6/22/8824789/fils-aime-nintendo-is-always-thinking-games-it-doesnt-sell-tvs-or ) in which he said:
"I do think that consumers find a sense of security in having the physical thing, and given that, I think the option of the physical thing always needs to be there. How that manifests itself in our future development we'll see."
The fact that there is even a question about "how that manifests itself" is suspicious to me. I've come around to Rol's side on this one, cartridges are only getting cheaper to produce and can hold as much data as a blu ray on a little chip the size of my thumbnail. They bring shorter loading times and generate much less heat. It fits Nintendo's style.
