The lack of a disc drive I wouldn't even say is the most significant thing about this patent.
The controller having a screen on it again and a built in HDD are more significant IMO.
It was plainly obvious Nintendo can't use discs going forward and have any type of a unified platform structure that Iwata's been talking about. You can't have a disc based portable in this day and age, that would be ridiculous.
