Didya give up on your wall of text copypasta, buddy?

No. Digital distribution is.

>replace blu-rays

They never became a reliable product like CD or VHS.
BD is a dead meme.

I find it amusing that the three consoles that Nintendo made that used disks purposely didn't use Sony based disks even though it probably would have been cheaper. Deep down they still hate each other.

>they never became a reliable product
What

Nintendo is using Vita carts now?

>i don't use it so it's dead
>i don't like it so it's a meme
You forgot to add cuck, shill and faggot to your buzzword filled post

I really fucking hope so.

yes ssd is going to replace disc formats

>Sony tries to trojan horse Blu-ray into households
>Takes a 250-300 dollar loss on every PS3 sold
>Billions down the drain, PS3 never recovers
>Blu-ray wins over HDDVD
>Everyone switches over to Netflix anyway

this. nintendo is behind the curb again

I sure hope so. Fucking CD garbage are so lame to collect.

>PS3 never recovers

Well, they lost a lot of money but they sold like 87-90 million consoles unlike the failure of Wii U.

And PS4 is still very successful.

They are always behind the curve, even with many of the games they make. The Switch has a fucking 32GB HD again, Wii U 2.0.

>Release everything as both physical AND digital
>This is somehow behind the curve

???

Considering they aren't cartridges but disks you're fucking retarded

Selling 90 million consoles isn't a good thing on its own when you're taking a loss on each sale
The only thing that matters is weather or not they made enough back through sales of PS3 games
and
>ps3
>games

...

Every Wii U sold after 2012 was profitable.

Making a small profit at 10 million is vastly preferable over losing billions at 80.

32GB of solid state memory, with microSD for expanding storage. A lot better than proprietary overpriced shit.

>You forgot to add cuck, shill and faggot to your buzzword filled post

No one uses it. Not even people in Japan.
BD sales are crappy and they still but DVD. Anime, movies generally. You have no alternatives with games because it's the only way to get a physical copy if you need it.

BD is overpriced garbage and it's a dead meme that was never alive.
Digital distribution and cloud services are already working very well. Not like I'd expect a retarded sonycuck to understand it though, you still live in the past with your outdated garbage.

Jokes on you, CDs were discovered to not be that reliable as initially thought. Most CDs from 1980-1990 are starting to die because of the protective lacquer where the label is printed wearing out and exposing the aluminum to the elements. I'm talking about pressed, original CDs, not CD-Rs. Those that the industry told us would last 100 years.

Modern cartridges also have problems: unlike the old cartridges, Flash-based cartridges are subject to data erase if not used for a long time, as they hold data by holding a voltage potential with transistors that are not perfect and, thus, have current leaks.

Digital distribution is the only way now.

>low HD space accommodation
>limited downloads on digital purchases
>limited uses on demos
>full price digital downloads
>shuts off store when moving to new consoles
>no reliable account systems or security
>accounts tied to the console

Yeah, nah. Nintendo is fucking stupid.

And even when sold at a loss one game sale was enough to turn in some profit.

>Well, they lost a lot of money but they sold like 87-90 million consoles unlike the failure of Wii U.
PS3 sold a bunch of consoles and lost a shitload of money, whereas the Wii U sold pretty poorly, but still made a profit.
Such is why Nintendo has survived being "doomed" for 25+ years.

The PS3 is #3 all time for console software sales, #1 is the PS2, and #2 is the Xbox 360, which narrowly beat out the PS3.

that's so they can jew 3rd parties into buying the carts and manufacturing fees from them and why 3rd parties jumped ship

>forcing you to buy sd card for storage just to be with the curve
???

Wow, a fucking flash drive. How generous of them. You are still paying extra for something that should have been 500GB+, but you're a moron.

Flash memory also has a fixed read/write number, I guess harddrives do too when you think about it.

Did they really make a profit? Because it doesn't seem so

ign.com/articles/2016/04/27/nintendo-profits-down-61-percent

Except you're forgetting about rotational velocidensity and digital dust.

Tablets don't come with and shouldn't come with 500gb of memory you stupid fucking retard.

>Every Wii U sold after 2012 was profitable.
I'm sure Nintendo made a killing from all 10 of them.

500GB internal flash memory would have driven the price up considerably, by like hundreds. You should be buying physical anyway and 32GB for DLC and saves goes a long way.

Fixed write number but not read number.

How do you propose they put 500GB+ of storage in a handheld without the price skyrocketing?

>IGN
Nintendo's profits are down but they're not taking a loss

So is it a console or is it a tablet? And sure they can, SSDs are cheap as fuck, Nintendo is just Jewish.

You're right though, it wont have enough games to even fill up the 32GB just like the Wii U.

profit being down and posting a loss are different things.

let's say
>2015: I spend a million dollars and I take in 2 million dollars in revenue. $2M - $1M in expenses = $1 million in profit
>2016: I spend a million dollars and take in 1.4 Million dollars. $1.4M - $1M = $400,000 in profit

a loss would occur if I spent more money on expenses and operations than I took in at a given time.

>make less profit
>this means you're not making profit

...

The price is already terrible, why not make it worse?

SSDs are unreliable and break after a year.

>cartridges
Pic not related.

I'm talking about wearing out of physical media and data destruction, not "quality degradation" or anything like that, you retard. Look for CD bronzing and CD spots and you'll know what I'm talking about.

good SSDs that don't shit the bed from crappy TLC that would be around 500GB would be around $200 retail right now and probably $150 bulk wholesale. it would be the single most expensive component in the device, and between warranties, localization, shipment, customs duty, leaving a retailer margin, etc. that would make a pricepoint of $300 for the device absolutely fucking impossible.

That's good, I'm sure youd be willing to buy another Switch in a year.

>Digital distribution is the only way now.
>get's account banned

Keep in mind that Nintendo doesn't operate in a vacuum. Being profitable doesn't necessarily mean that it did well enough to compensate for the Switch gobbling up R&D, production money and software development.

I doubt it. Only reason switch is using cards is because of the power required to use a disc drive as well as size of the drive itself.

Price wise discs are dirt cheap compared to solid state media

in what world

Ever wonder why you don't run a business?

You must be new to the internet.

>4K Blu-ray Disc
Has max size of 100GB and costs $6 per disc for consumers, lower for companies.

>SD Card
Equivalent size 128Gb costs around $40 for consumers, lower for companies.

Because I make more money than I need in my current job? Why are you still a fucking loser?

Don't be a pirate and/or a retard. Problem solved.

Also, backups exist.

#5

in the world where people buy shit SSDs that use TLC instead of MLC or buy bargain bin brands only to have the controller shit out.

Better than paying $499 US DOLLARS for a 128GB NAND version.

I can get a 128GB MicroSD for $25, Flash Nand gets really expensive once you pass 32GB.

They could use 1.8 HDDs like the old iPods/some Netbooks, but moving parts eat power like crazy.

>it's not a console!

What's an optical disc archive?

>shuts off store when moving to new consoles
They literally only just got around to shutting down the DSi shop and the Wii Shop Channel probably isn't going anywhere until 2021 at the earliest, since the Wii U used it as well.

>backups on a Nintendo system
Lol

1.8 HDDs haven't really gone anywhere, the load is not as quick and because you have moving parts (The needle on the drive head) you risk failure if the device moves too much while the drive is on. the ipods would generally keep the hard drive on as little as possible and load up multiple songs into a small amount of flash to only turn on the drive once every few minutes. can't really do that with a video game.

they're competitors dude. of course they aren't going to use sony based discs. they're lower quality anyway

I only have Netflix because I get a free year every year when I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy on T-mobile.

I hardly use it, there's no movies anymore and you watch through all the shows you want to watch fast.

I rent BDs from Redbox from time to time because I don't like shitty compressed rips.

>getting your account banned and then whining that you can't use a service anymore

I think so, BD are inferior nowdays and Catridges load faster and are more resistent

>lower for companies
but it's not devs have to buy special cards from Nintendo

Well they stagnated because flash NAND is better(but pricier per GB by far)

What started as a joke. My friends joke with him - and each of attempted murder. We all laughed at the idea.
I was pretty Cheerios? All, then the walls of fun. The roughness of the first texture. cold penis fluid milk.
"I'd like to you? "I said.
After a few will one day be brought to him. Do not forget the nonsense of his ideas range, as most of the group. This is not fun, but not strangers. This is done weekly. From 02:00 our children glued. He sighed, as he defeated Jake Kevin Socho penalty in bed snoring. After the seed remains in two minutes or so, Steve Beer-Sheba, as no doubt was left alone.
"You always have a friend" Steve smiled. "What is it?" I drank drunk.
Steve white balls and the lion, and the lion in the way as a product. As soon as I realized what it was.
"They will condemn him to hell to them that Stephen," I asked. "Cheerios man pretty cheap!" And it seems. "Dude, if not a joke. Do not tell me ..." I drive. "Naw man, I do not know what Cheerios clothes. But I bet $ 50." I know. "You fool, I wanted to go." And then right. "I know that?" I contacted. My erection started dying. "This is the sister of his brother Gallus with difficulty now?" I've been awake, agreements silence. "Nah, before he took a towel, and a man in love is not a man. I am a witness $ 50." "What to me I stick my dick pants." She stopped.
They kept silent. I will watch for a corner room, and views of masculinity that my Cheerios Sounds watching.
Nuts, honey.

your gonna be paying to upgrade the space anyways
ssd > flash

4k/video production

switch cartridge are very slow
don't talk out your ass

Is meme the only adjective you know?

I like physical media. It's not going to stay part of consoles for much longer, but as long as it does, I hope it moves to cartridges.

Nintendo can order SD Cards in very large quantity so they pay less per unit with bulk purchasing.

I'll be paying less.

NAND is more expensive than MicroSDs per GB and would raise the cost of the console.

Don't say SSD like a retard by the way, it's Flash NAND.

So you pretty much have to buy every game physical? For God's sake, my phone came with more storage than the Switch has. The virtual console games alone are going to fill it up.

What the fuck k

This. It's mainly because porn hasn't taken off for BD.

...

If they did that then Sony would be making money off them

Don't mean to derail, but I have over a TB of porn videos and I don't trust my external Hardrive.

What do you guys recommended I use to store my videos?

floppies

Use cloud storage such as Google Drive or Icloud.

Mega or Google drive and share them ;)

quartzs are the future. not even memeing

I heard Google spies on you. I don't want them checking my videos out.

You cant watch movies from catridges, sony owns the industry

A second EHDD?

Get a a RAIDbox.

A 2 drive one is probably fine.

Basically you have 2 drives that are clones of each other, another benefit is increased speed because the drives can work together as one essentially.

If one drive fails, ban you got the spare.

If physical media continues to exist, then flash storage will eventually become the norm.

I thought it had to do with not giving money to Phillips

>Everyone switches over to bd rips from private trackers
fix'd
netflix is dogshit quality for normalfags, unless you're that much of a cuck and use edge + win10 + kaby lake in order to watch the tiny amount of 4k content your connection probably can't handle anyway

Imagine how good the game would be if they just doubled the size of the cart.
