A few things:
- Right now is not hard to find 64GB SD/Micro SD cards at less than $20. Some examples from Walmart and Tiger Direct. Note that those are customers prices. Also, thats rewritable memory which is more expensive than the Read Only Memory usually used on "cartridges".
- Flash and Solid State prices in general are plummeting while capacities are increasing. There has been a lot of talk on how the price difference between SSDs and HardDisks is shrinking, for example some references here and here.
- Cartridges are a container holding something inside that is designed for insertion into a mechanism. So, technically, 3DS games still run on cartriges and using this term for the NX is most probably correct too.
