Makes sense. Despite Japan being seeing as some futuristic tech giant, the country seems pretty slow to move forward with technology. Definitely a "if it's not broke don't fix it" to a fault mentality. Then again when I usually hear about old tech being used it's government agencies and that's just common in all countries.
Still, as long as Japan still wants it, they'll probably keep it around. Nintendo could probably get away with it too, where I'm sure Sony is doing it because of cost cutting measures along with some other reasons. I'd rather Nintendo be the one to do it seeing how they're the biggest aggressors with ROM sites. Then again that gives them more of a reason to get rid of physical media.
