Just found out now, the Wii U is to contain flash storage, and to support usb harddrives/flash drives and SD cards.
This sounds like the best of all worlds. Inbuilt flash drive means that we get fast load times of things on the drive, less power consumption and heat produced, longer console lifetime.
Support for all major 3rd party storage formats means that we can have lots of storage for cheap (free for 99% of the population)
