I think that was a prediction. A 'could' rather than a 'would.'
It obvious that Nintendo needs to do something about storage, but it's also obvious that they're in no rush to do so. I expected a storage solution to appear before or along with the WiiWare launch, but Japan has WiiWare and is still stuck with internal memory.
Perhaps the delay is so that Nintendo can fire up manufacturing for a reasonably priced USB hard drive. I've given up predicting what will happen with storage using reason, but I can keep dreaming, at least. :P
