The comment on flash was in replacement for a hard-drive, within a couple of years we will see 32GB and 64GB flash based iPods, and by the time 2011 comes around these will be very cost effective to use in a console.

Yet the Wii don't even have a hard-drive so I seriously doubt it will have Flash. As far as flash becoming  cheaper that fast I hope you are right.

 


You do realize that Nintendo choose to use flash rather than a hard-drive, right?

They're already there, they just need to choose a more apropriate capacity; with the exception of the N64 their choice of 512 MB was adequate for most of what people will download, but 2 to 4 GB would have been better and still drastically cheaper than a hard-drive (and would see noticeable cost reductions over time).
