To be honest an internal drive doesn't seem like a necessity. Almost anyone has an external HDD drive at home, and if not a new one comes for cheap, also you're not forced to buy a proprietary hard dirve (like on 360) or to break the warranty seal (like on Ps3). |
Isn't it though? Nintendo for what it's worth seems to be trying to catch up with Sony and Microsoft in re-capturing "core gamers" and catch up in entertainment possibilities.
And these are the audiences that are going to need at least some sort of harddrive, for demo's, video's, DLC and so on, so forth. Seems a bit odd to me then that they're going to rely on USB sticks and internal memory mainly then. It also seems like a strange proposition that I should then go out and buy a 50 euro harddrive (They're not cheap here atm and buying one below 500GB seems silly) even though I probably just put down between 300 and 350 for their system...
Just my take on the matter though.
