Edit: If you look at the patent as well... "First Basic Program" and "Second Basic Program" which are in the "Memory Card" and Not in the "External HDD" also goes into the console. So "First Basic Program" goes into Memory/Ram and "Second Basic Program" goes into the "Internal Hard Drive" which really suggests its a cartridge since the "First Basic Program" is most likely game files that gets loaded upinto Ram and "Second Basic Program" is most likely any installation files or save data that gets written into the internal hard drive.

We're going in circles here. I'll read more on the patent and give my thoughts then.

EDIT: It literally mentions it's for SD cards in the patent.
