Not only has it caught up to optical media in capacity, it has surpassed it. The largest publicly available optical medium is a double layered Blu-ray disc at 50 GB. The largest SDXC card is 64 GB. This was unthinkable back in the N64 days.

Anyone wondering if Nintendo is considering that for their next system?

Probably still going to be to expensive at that level. Maybe 16 GB's The economies of scale will help reduce costs but I'm just not sure if it will be enough to go all the way to 64 GB's.

Surpassed? How? Did I miss something that was posted on pages 2 & 3 of this thread cuz I think I skept those.

We were discussing the differences in optical and flash mediums since the N64/PS days. Back then, optical media was far cheaper and much higher capacity than flash but today you can buy a single flash memory module chip with a greater capacity than the highest capacity optical media disc. But the price difference is still far in favor of optical mediums.
