Try putting your PS4 in your back pack and playing it on the go. 

Or playing Android apps on your PS4. 

There's your "gimmick". 

32GB (and eventually 64GB) is the same size as a Blu-Ray disc too, so I don't think that's that big of a deal. Even the Nvidia Shield microconsole could accept a 2.5 inch HDD inside its casing too. 

That is my point its a powerful portable system but is not competitive with home consoles. Also remember Nintendo expresses cartridge size in bits not bytes so 32 gig will be 4 gigabytes of memory and 64 will be 8 gigabytes of memory. 

Lets wait to see the specs, it could run even XB1/PS4 games portably, just at a lower resolution.

960x540 is 1/4 the pixels of a 1920x1080 frame, a 400-500 GFLOP Nvidia GPU could certainly run PS4/XB1 ports on the go. The home dock could then run those games at 1080P. That to me makes a lot of sense. 

Dragon Quest XI and Zelda: BoTW both are announced for the system, both are huge games. 

You're wrong about the cart size, 32GB is 32GB, Nintendo hasn't used that metric since like the 1990s, there are already 3DS games larger that are like 4GB. 32GB cards are dirt cheap these days, wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo is able to get those for as cheap as $1 a pop.
