And the types of discs you are talking about are Writable Once where as that microsd card is re-writable. I am not saying that it costs as less but it certainly doesn't cost $10 per for 64gb Read Only flash memory when 64gb is avaliable for $20 for consumers + rewritable...
Well then they wouldn't say "Like an sd card" then and they would specifically say "Sd card" in the discription

You're making stuff up now. You seriously think that a 64gb card is suddenly going to be less than $10 just because you can't write over it? It's going to be over half off just because you can't write over it? Even if that were true, it will still be exponentially more expensive for third parties to port their games on a cart, and that would not have garnered "positive reactions" from them.
No they wouldn't. The wording is always vague like that because SD card is a brand. A cartridge is not. If they were talking about carts, they would say carts.

Yes because Read Only anything costs less to produce than Re-Writable ones... Why on earth do you think Read only discs cost a lot less than Re-Writable discs as an example?
Actually that is incorrect... Here is the 3ds patent: "To this card slot 62, a memory card (SD card 64 in this embodiment) different from the memory card 58 can be inserted." Granted it also says "Cartridge" in the patent somewhere but saying that they have to be vague when it comes to SD card sounds like nonsense... Unless u have another patent where u are getting your info from?

I was just talking about the image, not the written patent. I was mistaken.
Either way, memory cards, as in the SD card, are clearly stated for what they are. Cartridges are clearly labeled for what they are. And no matter what the price difference is between readable and non readable, it will still cost exponencially more money for a third party to port the same game on the NX, and that's after the actual costs of porting, just because of cartridges.
