It was more because cartridges were more expensive than CD's at the time. Although Nintendo chose cartridges because they wanted to prove that they couldn't be as easily broken as CD's, what with scratches and smudges ruining games and to stop any possibility of piracy by copying the game.
They did have a point though. I know I copied a few PS1 games, like Diablo and some fighting games.

I enjoy them every so often, probably will never stream one again, but they are great for a scare to get your blood pumping. When I first read the fiction, and watched marble hornets, I slept with my 9mm next to my bed for 3 weeks XD a little overkill maybe but it was damn scary *for me atleast*

my thoughts exactly
Xbox 360's controller is fine, the first was a little much. Although we can all agree that the PS3 controller looks much better than it did when they were first developing the controller. I remember it looked more like a boomerang when the PS3 was announced.
At least it would have come back if you through it across the room.

idk i like PS1 controllers more than ps2/3, and as for the xbox controllers, there was a certain kind you could get for 1 that was simply FANTASTIC, the black/white buttons were in the perfect spot, was almost like an alpha version of the xbox 360 controller, but i would take the alpha over the final product anyday
*my 2 cents*
