Cartridges are still more expensive to manufacture and will probably be 32 and 64 gigabit so 4 and 8 gigabytes so skyrim for example might need some compression especially if it includes all the dlc that was originally separate in the original version. There using Macronix for their cartridges. Looking around it feels like nothing has been learned from wii and wii u with many people predicting an ultra powerful portable with huge capacity cartridges that can run the same games and at the same quality as ps4 and xbox one. It feels like we are going down the same path of hype to reality which often takes 2-3 years.. |
ermhm in many cases now flashdrives are cheaper to manuafacture than blueray disks. Just saying. Especially in the quantity that Nintendo games will be manufactured in.
Companies can compress extremely well though, I find it funny you bring up a Bethesda game when they're legendary at compression and I'm pretty sure managed to make versions of Skyrim like only a few GB before
