What I meant is that I heard that when they made the N64, they stuck with cartridge cause it was a proprietary method that they had copyrighted, hence, they made more money for each cartridge from the selling price, since they could set the price to publish a cartridge at whatever they wanted.

They didn't want a CD based system because they couldn't control the price as well, that and copying of games.

Personally, it struck me as them being greedy and not caring about the effect it would have on games.

Some WAY old issue of EGM had a pie chart of the cost for games on the Saturn, N64 and PSX, the N64 had a 10$ part that went straight to the big N just because it was a N64 game. Greediness killed the system ...
