That would be cool and from a pro-consumer perspective humiliate Nintendo with the Game Key Card nonsense. But I doubt even if Sony makes a hybrid that every game would come complete on a Game Card. |
Sony could (and I emphazie "could") just say, that every game released on their system, with a price tag above x (e.g. 40$) must be available physically and complete on cartridge or whatever different medium they would use, unless the game itself is too large for even the largest one.
However, Sony could to a trick here. I personally dont have anything against installing my games,
as long as they are installed from a medium that is 100% under my control.
So how about data cartridges? Cartridges optimized for capacity and capacity alone, to enable 32, 64, 128 and 256gb
You install the game from them (and the cartrdige acts as the key) There's no need to have them be both, large and fast.
I think that would be a possible solution to get their cost down. SD cards with that size arent exactly the most expensive either, so I see this as realistic.
//EDIT: plus no big company would decide to not release on Playstation, just because they have to offer physical versions to even be allowed to release their game(s)
