Wii U Has 8 GB of Internal Storage

Some of you are crazy.

This is a perfect solution and THE best option for consumers.

MOST people won't need more than 8GB and already have quite a few SD cards laying around or would be happy with buying an $10 16GB SD card to pop in there.

Those that will want more storage are by far in the minority and will have no issues spending $50 or a large usb HDD (up to 1TB probably for that price).

This way Nintendo can keep costs low, increase the lifespan of the WiiU, reduce its size, reduce it heat/noise levels, etc etc.

I am really happy with this solution. Especially if WiiU has connectivity to my PC like my PS3 does.... then it really doesn't matter as all my large media content will simply be streamed from the PC to the WiiU. Videos take up the most space anyways.

If Nintendo doesn't make a storage solution, won't publishers be hesitant to offer DLC and digital games as a regular flow?

Isn't that what happened with the Wii?

Aside from that concern, I definitely love the sound of this. I would rather pay for the exact storage I wanted rather than have Nintendo sell me a 32gb card for 100 dollars (Hi there, Sony!).
