| KungKras said: If they go cartridges I'll buy their system even if its only game is Hotel Mario 2. I love cartridges! But it raises a lot of questions. How would patches work? Probably the same as CD's with paches being on a hard drive. If they can make them cheaper than CDs that's great. But can they really? It would lower the cost of the system since it doesn't need a disc drive, which is great. If they go digital only I'm out of console gaming for good though. |
It's not that they can make them cheaper than discs, it's that the difference between the price of a disc/gb compared to the price of a ROM/gb is now cents on the dollar...like I think it's only a 10 cent difference/gb to produce a cartridge vs. a disc when in mass production. This cost makes it possible for Nintendo to move back to cartridges and charge the same price for their games, because in most cases it will only be a slightly higher production cost to make the cartridge rather than the disc. Plus if a lot of people are like me, they will have BOTH the handheld and the console, and Nintendo will only need to produce these games once (If these theories are correct) for both, meaning less production costs in that sense as well. Hopefully everything plays out smoothly and our thories are correct haha.
