How would you feel if the next Nintendo console used flash memory cards?

I think it would be excellent. They hold more than discs, read speaks are faster and I don't even use the bluray feature on my consoles. Not to mention the console would probably be smaller and lighter with a disc drive.

Fast Blue-Ray drives are actually about as fast as a standard USB 2.0.  To be be a lot faster and have a larger capacity they would have to be 128GB USB 3.0 - which cost $60+.  Not to mention the newest Blue Rays hold 130GB.

 

There is a reason Nintendo stopped using cartridges.

Erm... 3DS says hi. Also, the old style of cartridges were full circuit boards. New ones are basically flash memory.

3DS cartridge holds 128MB - 8GB.  Good luck fitting modern games on that buddy, oh and they will read as fast as a CD-ROM.
