Yes but how much can such an SD card store. And yes i know its HDD which you download games, but the problem is that only 40% of the world has internet and some peopel have poor internet. TBH i think this is too soon for Nintendo.

Well, fash memory prices go down all the time. But doing a quick google search I found this:

For comparison purposes, the PS4 uses 50 GB disks read at 27 MB/s.

That SD card has 64 GB with read speeds of 60 MB/s. It's 20 dollars for costumers, but Nintendo can surely get them cheaper, expecially in a few years.

Ok thats very good then.
