Almost perfect. But I think Nintendo wants to take advantage of the cartridges speed in their game designs and HDDs might be too slow to achieve gameplay parity in certain areas/aspects. They should just make the USB ports compatible only with drives that can achieve NX cartridge speeds. SDD are closing in on HDDs fast, this comversation might be meaningless in a few years.

Hmm well... I don't know if the casual consumer is educated enough to know the difference between a SSD and a hard drive. So idk if that will be a good idea regardless of cost.

If everything goes well, you might not need to. SDDs are eventually going to kill HDDs for good in the mainstream market. And some say it will happen sooner than later. Here's a nice read on Samsungs opinion on the matter. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-ssd-hdd-sata-nvme,32762.html It might seem long so you can just scroll down to the HDD part :)
