A Cartridge can technically be a harddrive or a USB Flash or a SD or a SD mini card with with one game or a whole bunch of games on it and so can a CD, only difference is now a video game cartridge as far as I know can hold more than traditional CD's DVD's or even Blurayy.
what do you prefer to play your modern games? or even your classic games on? and do you perfer to play most of your classic or modern games with a disc/CD/DVDor Bluray disc or instead of that
a cartridge? in which is technically could be the same thing as a harddrive or an SD card or mini SD card or flash drive
And do you think that the modern video game industry would benefit from going backwards to cartridges? or harddrive based gaming instead of disc only or the current video game industry being disc and digital based?
Imagine haveing an entire console collection purchased on 1 or multiple SD, or mini SD cards or flash drives instread of having a collection of discs connected to a server you need to download online only?
and if the games were released one by one so the game companies could make the same amount of money minus the cost or a vary small SD or mini SD or flash drive?
The question is complicated but how would today's video game industry be if all the games were released one by one or in packs on SD or Mini SD cards with the printed manuals like back in the old days guys?
I would actually buy a modern console if that were the case and games to go with it
This would be both cost effective and physical released with a hint of the old days
Their is the Nintendo Switch but does the Nintendo Switch come with all or most classic or modern console games with console or PC graphics?
