| JRPGfan said: Differnce would probably be like a few dollars at most.... theres no reason cartridges would have to cost all that much even for 64gb variants. Sure its many times more than what a bluray disc costs, and yes you sell a game at 60$, you make 2-3 bucks less if its sold on cartridge, dont think developers will care (any extra sales is good for them, as is the profits). |
Discs cost cents by comparison, if that, so a few dollars is a massive difference in cost. Capcom nearly raised the price of their game $10 because they needed a 4GB cart. SMT4 was $50 because they needed a bigger cart. So was Persona Q, and that only released this past fall. Because of a 2GB difference.
That problem increases exponentially when you're dealing with 64gb carts instead of 4GB carts, and devs aren't going to deal with that because, unlike on the 3DS where those games were exclusive and in a bubble, people are not going $70+ for an NX game that is $60 on the PS4/XBO. If consumers won't buy it, devs won't sell it, which meants they wouldn't support the NX, which means the NX would loose 3rd party just like the N64 for the same reasons etc, etc.
So yes, they do care, and they won't work with it. And they won't have to, because Nintendo isn't stupid enough to do it.
