As technology progresses old cartridges won't have capacity enough to contain new games for new consoles and they may have to make different cartridges for the new consoles. See NES, SNES and N64 for reference. All produced by Nintendo, 3 different cartridges.

    True, cartridges last longer than discs. Although this never happens to me anyway. The last disc of mine that got scratched to death is Tekken 2, and that's 12 or so years ago.
    >>> You must be very careful with your games then, personally almost all the games i have bought have become unusable (full of scratches and stuff), and that REALLY piss me off..

    You have to be pretty careless to ruin any of them, especially Blu-Ray. Put them back in their case when you're done playing them. Otherwise you're just asking for any damage that may happen to them.
    >>> Well, I like to share my games with brothers, friends, etc. and some people like to rent games too, you cant expect that everyone is going to be extremely careful with their games. In the old days (NES/SNES) this was not an issue at all..
