All they really have to do is allow you plug in an SD card. But even at that I doubt it. Using carts gives them certain benefits. Well one benefit. Very fast read times which for its rumoured 4GB of unified memory would mean very fast load times for games. Using any form of internal or external HDD (unless it's an SSD) will mess all that up cause the read speeds off the cart will be faster than any HDD on the market. It's currently rumoured to be around 400MB/s. |
The speed of carts is irrelevant, there are games with post-launch dlc/updates measuring in at over 50gb.
