The N64 cartridges were bad for 3rd party support, but I wouldn't trade them for PS1 discs even if my life depended on that. PS1 was infamous for the terribly long loading screens, while in the N64 loading screens are almost non-existent. Yes, we lost Final Fantasy, but in the time it took for me to write that sentence I already turned my N64 on and started a match of Smash.
So to summarize, the problem with the N64 cartridges from a consumer perspective, is that Nintendo lost 3rd parties because of it, but the NS2 Game Key Cards on the other hand were made to preserve 3rd party support on the NS2, that's the difference.
