To me this looks like both a console and a handheld. The device with screen will both act as controller and as replacement of 3DS. These two platforms will be intimately connect and it's also a good way to create one OS, one setup, two devices for portable and home gaming.
Why not? It's the future. MacBook Air, for example. Do you ever felt you want an optical drive in it?
Why are you assuming the carDs will be the main information source? They may be there for mere storage of game data. The connection of the broadband will probably be the main source of data. In other words, it may be a digital-only gaming machine.
This. Not cartridges. So many people here seem to have greatly misunderstood.
Yep. This exactly. And it fully make sense. The revenues are higher this way. And yes, the loading times will greatly diminish if the games will first be stored on a flash internal drive, for example.
I'm not liking the idea of a digital only console one bit.

The Memory Card Slot is what intrigues me the most about this design, they going from disks to carts?

I'd love carts too, but it's not happening, probably they'll go full digital.
