The pitiful Wii U storage size is inexcusable. It's one of the main reasons it sells so badly, IMO. I have no clue on why they went with flash memory over HDDs...


Flash is cheaper.
It also allows much faster access times, it also uses less power, takes up less space, produces less heat, produces less noise and is more reliable. (Due to NOT having a disc rotating at 5-7 of thousand times a second.)

Those are the advantages which obviously out-weighed the cons at the time of design. (Bandwidth, capacity.)

Still think the USB ports should have been USB 3.0 though for super fast external storage.

Yeah? A 5400 rpm drive rotates 5,000 times a second?

and no, Flash memory is much more expensive per gig than an hdd.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
