I think Nintendo will do the same thing that they did with the 3DS; have the console with some internal memory for patches, the OS, Wii games etc; and have the rest play off an included 8/16GB SD card, or, heck, even a HDD, included with the system, to save downloads on.

I have not used any extra memory for my 3DS yet. Did not even know that I needed it? Actually specs are not my thing, so maybe I am just not understanding you.

The extra memorty comes from the SD card in the SD card slot of the 3DS. All downloads, saves etc. (bar DSiWare games) will go to the SD card, I believe. That's 2GB, or around 11,000 blocks. 

If that runs out, then all saved data is put on the 3DS' 512MB internal memory, which isn't as large, as sorta a 'stop-gap' thing whilst you clear room off of the SD card, or get a new SD card. I'm unsure if downloaded apps work straight from this memory, but I bet they do.

Also, good news about that mistranslation!
