BUT IT'S ONBOARD STORAGE. IT'S LITERRALLY ON. BOARD.
seriously.
The original Xbox has 0 bytes of onboard storage
The original Xbox360 had 0 bytes of onboard storage (+ Optional 20-250GB HDD)
The PS3 has 0 bytes of onboard storage (+ 20GB - 250GB HDD)
Wii has 512MB of onboard storage
New 360slim has 4GB of onboard storage (+ Optional 250GB HDD)
3DS has 2GB of onboard storage (+ 2GB SD card)
Wii2 is rumored to have 8GB of onboard storage
sounds like Nintendo is ahead of the curve on Onboard storage
HDD support on the other hand.....
Atleast we will have SD card expansion out of the box if 3DS is anything to go by.
32GB SD card Aren't that expensive right now and will only be cheaper a year from now and then again a year from then.
edit: Nintendo could always do what they did with the 3DS (& Verizon did with my cell phone) by including a separate SD card to expand space out of the box. Maybe Wii2 will come with a 16GB card already in the slot just like my phone came with a 32GB card already installed.
