I dont think that the Wii U plays Blu-Rays, but I hope the NX does!Well, the Wii U technically runs Blu-Ray disks, iirc. It's just their own version of it, which is why regular Blu-Rays won't read.
But, they should put a Blu-Ray player in, I'm 50-50 on whether they actually will, though.
I'm saying that Nintendo made their own version which is has the same advantages, but it's not the same, so it doesn't read like regular Blu-Rays.I dont think that the Wii U plays Blu-Rays, but I hope the NX does!
If it's either of those, then it'll be a HUGE failure! If it's SD card-based, then either the loading times will be incredibly long or the retail price of the games will be far more than that of a game for another console! No matter how you go about it, you can't stuff 20-50 GBs of game files onto a SD card and sell it for a low price! As for all-digital, I doubt it, as it will impose a really tight limit to the amount of games you can have on your console and would require tons of hard drive memory, meaning it will result in severely limiting the game sales! Blu-Rays on the other hand, offer great speed and large storage, allowing for both good and large games and medium/low pricing!It is unlikely that the NX will support Blu-ray or discs since the patent leak that suggest that it may either be an all-digital or SDcard-based console
What the hell do you think this is, 1995, where cartridges were inferior to CDs? You have no idea how much of a big difference between a cartridge today and a Blu-ray disc today. You think cartridges are inferior to discs but actually you have it inverted. SD Cartridges can hold 1TB worth of memory. You ever bought a memory extension for the PS4 or XB1 to store all your games? Guess what bud, that's a cartridge, all USB storage devices are cartridges. Cartridges are superior to CDs in every way nowadays. Cartridge have the ability to read and write data whereas a CD can only read and require internal memory to store game saves. If discs are so superior to cartridges then go ahead and take a look at the PSP, shouldn't it be better than the DS? Graphically yes but, since it used discs over cartridges and there were some other major flaws with that, like the long load times that were painful to endure because it used a disc and it was easier for it to get scratches and prone to break more easily than a cartridge, thus is the reason for keeping the game disc in a special plastic container.If it's either of those, then it'll be a HUGE failure!

You do realize that the previous generation of hardware shouldn't have lasted 6-8 years in the market like that? So Nintendo going from Wii U to NX in 2016 isn't outrageous. The release difference between XBOX and XBOX 360 is 4 years. Also cartridges are better on load times and store more memory than discs.Nope, the nx will not have a blue ray player, I question if the nx will even have 3rd party support, because it will not, lol. I think nintendo needs to take their time developing the nx, I mean 2018. Then nintendo can put whatever tech in it. 2016 or 2017 seem way too early. If nintendo starts fresh in a new generation, it may have a blue ray player, if not, I bet the nx will be terrible.
You are comparing REGULAR DVDs with cartridges, NOT Blu-Rays! The two are NOTHING alike! Memory cards/cartridges CAN go up to 2TBs, but then they cost around 600+$! On the other hand, Blu-Rays can go up to 4TBs and still cost around 300$ for TWICE the size and MUCH faster loading times! Also, one of the reasons Blu-Rays are famous is that even scratched, the will still play JUST AS GOOD! Have you forgotten how the PS2 Blu-Ray games were? I had a flight simulation one and the disc broke in half, I glues it together and it still played with only some minor lag! I think you are the one that should check the facts! And just one small note, a 128GB Blu-Ray (which easily fits a really large game!) costs just 29$ at most to produce, whereas a 128GB Cartridge cost around 200$ just to make one!What the hell do you think this is, 1995, where cartridges were inferior to CDs?

So before you say that CDs are better than cartridges I suggest you look up your information
As Sony revolutionize the DVD-CD format by creating the Blu-ray disc you don't think Nintendo can revamp the cartridge? We continue to evolve and evolve and companies will do something to make things more affordable. Add the fact that rumors around Codename NX that it is a hybrid and it would make sense if they added cartridges back to the home console side of things.You are comparing REGULAR DVDs with cartridges, NOT Blu-Rays!

It would make MUCH more sense to have UMD-like Blu-Ray disks then! Also, you seem to think that all the PlayStation 2/3/4 games are on Blu-Ray disks, while, in fact, ONLY a select few are! You can easily tell which ones are Blu-Rays and which aren't by whether the underside is silver or blue/light blue! Blu-Rays use the DNA computing technology, which results in the blue color of the underside, compared to the regular method of laser print, meaning they are literally restriction-free!As Sony revolutionize the DVD-CD format by creating the Blu-ray disc you don't think Nintendo can revamp the cartridge?

I said what if they REVOLUTIONIZE the cartridge, bringing about a new format that is superior to the SD Card format todayIt would make MUCH more sense to have UMD-like Blu-Ray disks then!
