What are transfer rates like these days, are cards fast enough?

Someone replied to me saying PS4 has like 27m and SD has a max of about 60m or something like that while SD can hold 64gb and PS4 50gb

Also most Nintendo Games for the Wii U are under 16GB.

Basically if you order by volume of  atleast 100's you can get a unit price around 3.9$ for a 16 GB SD Card.

I think Nintendo could get even lower prices, and in the future these are going to become even cheaper.
