I believe it was an article in an old Nintendo magazine or maybe GameInformer that I read this, but their obsession with cartridges came from polling parents in the 90s about if they thought their children could handle CD style disks without breaking or scratching them. Parents felt more comfortable buying cartridges for their children due to fear of damage so Nintendo stuck with cartridges.
