do you think DVD/HDDVD/BR and these "chips" are competing for the same market ?

(just a question)

Not now, but perhaps in the future.

Who needs a disc drive when you could potentially just have a USB-like interface and a game stick? Of course, only time and cost effectiveness will decide when/if that ever happens.

Yes.  I think in order to be commercially viable, your game cartridge would have to cost less than $10 to produce.  Right now you can buy a 1 GB flash card for 10 bucks, so flash memory is definitely closing the gap.  It's not there yet, though, and it will be a few years before it gets there.  I don't think it will be ready for the next generation of home consoles.
