I hate using discs, they are so delicate and easy to break.
There must be a reason why consoles now use discs instead of cartridges because im sure you'll all agree that cartridges have a smaller chance of getting broken than discs, the PS1 used discs but the N64 didn't...BUT the PS1 had better graphics.
Is it something to do with the space?
Can a disc hold more space than a cartridge?
Or are they using discs now because they look better?
It would be so good to have a console with Cartridges instead of discs...

Cartridges are more expensive to produce, and take up more space (which is an issue for Japanese people, before you ask).
Cartridges can't hold as much data.
The list goes on.
And seeing as it requires Broadband it might mean that even when playing a single player game you will have to be connected to the internet which will be annoying for people without a router/hub.
But at least theres no way to break your games because they're invisible when you think about it, *thinks*, ok maybe not invisable but you get what I mean.
Another problem is that if for any reason your console breaks you will have to download all of the games again...

Oh my god.....
Yes there is a national shortage of shelving and drawer-space in Japan at the moment... it's terrible.
Thats why they are so small.
