Usage: A review of retail hardware whose specification table states the memory capacity together with the part it is made of. The same publication's teardown piece calls the module size a best guess; this table does not hedge, and it is the table that is cited. Nintendo's own specification page has no memory row at all, which is why a review is carrying this figure.
