Optical drives need to be kicked to the curb! Flash is the next-gen future.

Frugality. You're welcome.

The rate at which they increase flash capacity while reducing costs is indeed impressive, and it's not hard to imagine it as a viable storage medium for home consoles.

I'm very curious to see what Nintendo comes up with for holographic storage. Could a massive WORM drive and an internet connection replace optical discs and physical retailing?

Affordability would be closer. Frugality would measure how tight a console is with money.
