Yep but the advantages are fantastic if you can get over the manufacturing issues. You can get higher performance data transfer, less noise, lower cost consoles and smaller consoles and you can directly support the download option by including a substantial quantity of flash in every console; think 32GB instead of 8GB in the Wii U.
Imagine if instead of having say a 250GB mechanical HDD you could have a much more reliable 256GB flash drive? Without mechanical components the reliability of consoles can double or trebble. A fully flash based console would be an amazing device.
Tease.
