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

Look up 3DS cartridge speeds if you dont believe me.  Even a cheap 64GB USB will cost them at least $20 instead of $0.50 for q blue ray.  That destroys your profits and is one of the Main reasons the N64 made so much less money than the PS1 (even accounting for marketshare differences).  There is a reason some people here arent in charge of companies like Nintendo, and it is because they would make idiotic profit destroying choices like the ones being proposed in this thread.

Tell me the truth - you just looked at the typical prices for USB drives when bought individually, cut the cost a little, and assumed that was the amount it would cost for any sort of flash media. Right?

Best case scenario what would it cost $10 each?  There goes 25-50% of your profit.  Real smart.
