Why are we still using discs instead of cartridges?

Regardless; games not functioning or being unavailable is a problem both with physical formats and digital. Especially when BC is becoming less and less common, there are very few ways of playing older games, save for re-buying them in an e-store or using emulators, alternately having a dozen consoles under the TV.

Hey I don't have a dozen under my tv. I have 23! I love it!

Damn, that must be one big tv :) Awesome.
I wish I had kept my old consoles, moving from PAL to NTSC country it was kinda pointless at the time.
