@HS. Currently too expensive for Nintendo to do that. I believe the cost of solid state memory is approximately 20 times as much as normal hard drives.

Hence the generation after next, in ~8 years time that will have fallen a lot.

This gives an idea of the prices.

Solid state drives are expensive, but in 3 to 4 years a 32GB flash card will cost less than $10 at retail.
