I was wondering, why do we use discs?

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...

N64 had better graphics.

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.

Errm the N64 used carts the PS1 didn't and the N64 had the better graphics, well graphical potential. Carts cant hold as much space as disks (I think) so thats why.
