Sounds great and based on SMD's other video back in December (check it out if you haven't yet) I do believe that the SCD is the NX's "gimmick". Problem is, if NX launches without the SCD abilities it's going to seem more like an add-on after the fact and not part of the initial vision. Let's hope it's there on day one.

It has to be there. I'm sure Nintendo isn't that irresponsable as to release a system in half. The question is going to be whether they sell this all together, or will they sell the expansion and the handheld separately.

Somewhere I remember hearing talk of bundling possibilities, but not everyone will necessarily want their own SCD.  The beauty of it is that people are able to "leech" off of others' SCDs.  They won't have their own piece of the server network that SCD owners will, but they can still take advantage of the extra power/capabiliteis that it offers.  Theoretically at least.
