Why are we still using discs instead of cartridges?

Most Xbox 360 games would fit on a DVD but did that stop Microsoft from moving to Blu-ray discs ? 

Nintendo keeping file sizes small is relative in this case when EVERY generation they too needed bigger storage sizes to make their games so what exactly is stoping them from exploring more games in the tens of gigabytes for the NX ?

Are you just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing? The occasional game that doesn't fit on a 16GB card would go on a 32GB or even 64GB card. In order to have a point, you would have to believe that the majority of Nintendo's next generation games will exceed a file size of 16GB. But like I said, Nintendo's history points to the opposite.

I noticed some people are pretty much arguing against possibilities when we know next to nothing about the NX... I also see that many like to conclude for Nintendo to be successful everything is about catching lightening in a bottle. Which is such a disservice to a company that's not only been around for a long time but very profitable as well, even before the Wii and DS came along. Nintendo hasn't had close to equal 3rd party support since maybe the GC days and 3rd party companies weren't what made both the DS and Wii successful, it was all Nintendo coming up with something clever...
