I like the idea of using cartridges. With the ability to write data to them it would be awesome if DLC and patches could be stored on the cart directly and not on the system.

Them they would have to produce larger storage cartridges, and have a limit on how much space available they had to offer DLC.
That could make them both more expensive and an obstacle to game expansions via DLC.
Not to say about the day one patches that are sometimes huge, and could eat all the available space or don't even fit on the cartridges right from the beginning.

It sounds, if rumors are true that the NX will also have internal memory for DLC/patches, and with the option of having a SD card to expand that.
