I responded to this over an hour ago but it didn't show up =/

I said that discs could store a lot more than carts at the time, but the data accessing times were still lower. Compare loading times on the Nintendo 64 to the PS1.

True, but these were basically PS2 discs made smaller. The loading times were pretty astounding until the end of the PSP's lifetime, when the DS and maybe 3DS were out.
