@Shellcore I've been working at a kid's acting workshop the past few weeks and every one of them has a better phone than I do, so a lot l of kids have phones I guess. Ideally they would be supervised anyway so they can use a parent's phone and really it's not a feature for infants.
As someone whose N3DS was recently borrowed by his dog, who managed to remove the Fire Emblem cartridge and chew on it, I am entirely for this. If that had have been a disc I'd be down a copy of a game that is strangely difficult to find here in Ireland.
@Titan_Clocker the problem is that going digital only would completely alienate quite a significant number of people. A good maybe 50% of Ireland has no access to broadband, I'm sure other larger countries must have similar situations to.
Furthermore, in the case of digital purchases you pay for date that's stored on your device... If my device breaks or is stolen, if I forget my password, if in ten years I want t go revisit my old games... What happens then? They sort of aren't there any more... Potentially, at least. I also like having physical copies in general. If I'm paying for something, it's for the object. If everything goes digital, I'll become a pirate and to be honest I don't really want to develop metaphorical sea-legs in terms or the morality of software purchasing.
Oh, cartridges are really cool too and I miss blowing on every game I own and no loading times.
