-> I think that it will survive.  Cuase A) no loading time B) Better
-> graphics than the PSX or Saturn C) it just came out and hasen't

-> games for it sucked but as time went on they tripled maybe even
-> quadrupled the graphics and gameplay.  I think this will do the

No loading time is a cheap excuse for people supporting cartridges. Let's 
compare cartridges to cds. Carts cost between 20 and 30 dollars to 
manufacture...cds cost about 3. Carts take 3 months to manufacture in volume, 
a batch of CDs can be turned around in days. CDs can store a hell of a lot 
more than a cartridge. So don't give me this cartridge is better. You know 
that not to be true. And the other fact is...no game will reach Mario 64's 
level of achievement for a long, long time. And the cost of games is too 
gh.
    Also in late 94. Shiny's Earthworm Jim launched for the SNES on a 16 mbit 
cartridge. Two weeks later, Nintendo's own Donkey Kong Kountry was released 
on a 32mbit cart and sold for 10 dollars less. "How the hell are you meant to 
compete with that?" said Shiny's Dave Perry. He has a point.
It's too late...
