Also if you need a physical copy of a game to be playable on both a handheld and a home console.... bluray discs just dont work. Cartridges make sense then. There are benefits to it. |
No, they don't make sense. Cartrages capacle of fitting both the handheld and console varients of a game, one that is supposed to accomedate all possible games for the platform, would have to be like 50GB+ in size. That means either devs would have to sell their games a significantly lower profit margin to keep that $60 parity with other consoles, or the more likely outcome, games that are $60 on other consoles would have to be priced at like $75 on NX, which consumers wouldn't pay for, which means devs wouldn't be able to sell their games, which means devs would stop supporting the NX, which means it would flop again. Consumers would either not buy the NX because the the game's prices would be so criminally inflated for no good reason, or 99% of them would buy all their games...
...digitally because its cheaper...
Maybe they will use carts.
Lol jk the backlash at $75 games would kill the console's PR before anyone ever got to the point where they could make that decision almost had me though A for effort or whatever
