Cartridges or optical discs?

I've had more SD cards fail on me than cds/dvds/blu-rays. While I have used less than a few dozen SD cards and probably over a thousand discs combined. Ofcourse those SD cards were heavily used, yet they can still break. SD cards are far more complex than a simple pressed disc. Simple solutions usually last longer.

The Switch isn't using the same technology in an SD card for it's carts.
It is using ROM, not NAND.

True, it should last longer. My old MSX cartridges gave out long ago though, although last time I tried my old GBA it still worked. I've never had problems with old CDs bar some that got scratched badly (or in one case snapped in half in gamer rage :/) Stepping on a cartridge won't do it much good either I would think.

It's much more likely my kids lose / misplace the tiny cards long before they go bad.
