Maybe for you. Personally, I prefer discs for the reasons below the comment you conveniently cropped. Also, people here are also mentioning NES/SNES/N64 cartridges, and the CD back then offered an improved quality. I still remember WWF War Zone on both PS1 and N64, and me hating the latter version.

Nothing to do with me.
NAND/ROM fabrication has increased in leaps and bounds since the Nintendo 64, the technology has NOT stood still.

And the sound quality is exactly the same as Optical Disk.
The main reason for reduced audio quality was to conserve space, but considering that concern is no longer an issue with 64GB-256GB capacities for carts now being possible... Well. You get the idea.
To put that into perspective... A Single layer Bluray disk is 25GB, Dual Layer, 50GB which is the most common capacities for consoles.
Triple and Quad-druple layers allow for 100 and 128GB respectively.

You're saying it like optical discs are stuck in prehistoric times when they have also advanced in leaps and bounds, which doesn't only apply for Blu-Ray discs. Sure, the argument here is for physical media for videogames, but advancements are being done everywhere. I mean, it's nice for a 256GB MiniSD to exist, but Sony and Panasonic already developed the Archival Disc, which can go above 1TB. Yes, yes, it's not applicated for videogames just yet, but I also don't think Nintendo will use a 256GB MicroSD card for a game just yet. For storage? Of course. For games? I don't think even current-gen consoles have games that big.

Also, I don't know why you get so hellbent on twisting and dismissing my personal opinion TWICE.  I just stated why I didn't like cartridges and how inconvenient I found them then and now. And by this:

I choose optical discs because they allow for larger capacities and a better sound quality

Not any more.

are you implying sound quality is not good on optical discs anymore when you said above:

In the end, these are different storage mediums, both with its advantages and disadvantages. And frankly, I'm way too preocupied with other things than trying to defend my opinion past this point. I mean, you can reply if you want; you'll just be talking to yourself.
