No port for external HDD or SSD? I guess i have to say goodbye to 3rd party support then. No FF7r, No Dark souls, and definitely no Bethesda AAA rpg.

I guess at this point I should just accept NS as a glorified handheld than a hybrid console

I'm guessing there are USB ports on the dock so one could assume that there might be external USB hard drive support like the Wii U has.

There are USB ports on the dock. 

There is no HDD support according to LPVG. 

There would likely be HDD corruption/read problems if/when people started just taking the system off the dock as the game was accessing a HDD too. 

Not that it replaces a HDD, but maybe for people who want to be more digital only perhaps Nintendo could give them the option of using the cartridge slot as a secondary SD Card port. That way you could have two SD Cards in the system instead of one, that could be an OK way to double+ your storage space if you don't like buying physical games. 

It doesn't replace a HDD but it's better than nothing.
