I've heard of this rumor a few times before. Not sure if it would be good, but I'd take that over a all digital platform. Plus it would be funny to go back to cards after they were ditched for CDs. It would kinda be a full circle around.

In the grand scheme of things. Carts do make a certian kinda sense. If the system uses a proprietary cart that and connector and allows for decent transfer speeds to an internal HDD, then besides it being slightly more expensive that Discs it makes for an all round more effective distribution medium. also allows for the console to be smaller and less expensive to make. A cart connector will cost less than $2/console than using a disc drive that costs around $25/console. 

We went from carts to disc cause at the time carts simy cost too much in relation to their data capacities. But as soundwave said, in honesty a 50GB/100GB nand flash cart can probably be had for as little as $2-$3 today. even if it's transfer speed is just 25MB/s. all its needed for is just to install the game to the internal drive. 

Yeah, I am aware that CDs were simply better than carts back then during the PS/N64 days. I just find it funny that we're to where carts are actually a vialble option again.  I never thought that could be an option again.
