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:

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).

That never happens. Look at 4k BD discs. They don't work at all in a BD player. Because companies never allow future options, in their intial setups. You can't read a 64GB+ SD card in SDHC or SD card readers. You need a SDXC reader. Another example: If you have 30FPS HD video on a BD discs. You aren't allowed to have the file in progressive scan. It has to be interlaced (1080i). All because, when they were making the BD plans. 1080 30 and 60 fps couldn't be in Prograssive. Due to them wanting to save on bandwith. But now, no one gives a shit.
