How would you feel if the next Nintendo console used flash memory cards?

To bad they didnt go this route though, patent they filed shows a internal HDD.

*edit: I wonder if just haveing a SD card slot, would be enough to survive without a HDD shipped in a console?

couldnt you just inform people they need a SD card with free space on it, if they want to install a digital game?

Having an internal HDD shipped with the system is far more consumer friendly as well as a general expectation. If the systems comes with no memory, I garuntee lots of people will complain, attaching an external usb HDD is also not a ideal solution for most consumers either, I think only a small minority of core gamers actually do that. If its a very Nintendo centric box with no real intention of receiving third party support, 64GB of built-in Internal memory may be decent however they won't be doing much of a favour with their collaborators like Square Enix seeing as Dragon Quest XI will likely be 40GB minimum.

I can easily see Nintendo shipping 64GB internal and console itself have support for almost every external HDD or USB Flash.
