correct. i don't see why we would not go back to cards. 

they get cheaper and cheapert. the size and speed is getting bigger and faster
and we don't need huge consoles just because of the disktray

Not to mention:

1. No extra moving parts means less chance of failure.

2. Easy enough to include multiple slots to allow people to keep more than one physical game in the system simultaneously.

3. Technology not really limited in size for given hardware - the same reader that would work for a 16 GB card should work, ultimately, for a 1 TB card (when they eventually happen - assuming there's no physical size issue for the card size chosen).

4. Able to have RAM as well as ROM, so you could have on-card data storage, allowing you to (for instance) take your unlocked characters in Smash NX to a friend's house without issue.
