MOST people won't need more than 8GB and already have quite a few SD cards laying around or would be happy with buying an $10 16GB SD card to pop in there. Those that will want more storage are by far in the minority and will have no issues spending $50 or a large usb HDD (up to 1TB probably for that price). This way Nintendo can keep costs low, increase the lifespan of the WiiU, reduce its size, reduce it heat/noise levels, etc etc. I am really happy with this solution. Especially if WiiU has connectivity to my PC like my PS3 does.... then it really doesn't matter as all my large media content will simply be streamed from the PC to the WiiU. Videos take up the most space anyways. |
You're really sticking up to this? Game patches/mandatory installs on my PS3 take up over 30GB of HDD space. I have used up 150 of 250GB on my system (I have a 120GB system, upgraded to 250). That's between patches, DLC, videos, and games purchased over the store. Digital Distribution is the future! And you might complain about mandatory installs on PS3 games, but it improves loading times and IO performance incredibly. Wii U is gonna be another terrible disk thrashing system thanks to no installs. Especially now that it has to load high res textures.
