| cbarroso09 said: I have seen a thread about Lego City: Undercover being 22Gb to download, but because the Wii U hardwae has 32 and 8Gb of solid state memory, it seems to be a hot topic and an oportunity to again dismiss Nintendo's hardware. Now, the PS3 and Xbox360 both have removable hard drive, relatively easy to change. For the PS3, it is just necessary a screw driver, while the 360 doesn't need anything. The only downside is that you need a propietary hard drive to replace the existing one, but these are known to be more expensive than common ones. It is possible to use a non-propietary hard drive for the PS3, but you have to be sure it has the exact dimensions as the original. Not a deal breaker, but not as easy as to buy any external hard drive and pluging in it on USB ports. None of the methods these 3 systems use are that much different from each other. In context, I say it is better if the system comes with a relatively small storage memory, then the user can buy, once, an external hard drive with the capacity needed. I don't really think it is the best option to charge the user with a 500Gb hard drive when in just a year, it is possible it needs a new one; while for example with the Wii U, I can buy up to 2TB cheaper than buying a system with it (it will last more than a 500GB for sure). Added to these, Nintendo decided to sell all their frist party software on the eshop, while still selling retail copies. If the game is bigger than what your system can store, you get a retail copy. If not, for sure that user wanting to download the game, have an internet connection to buy the game from online stores. Nintendo states that in the future it will be possible to plug two hard drive to the system at the same time, and even transfer your files from one to another if you need more capacity. What do you think is the problem with Nintendos desicion about the storage memory inside the Wii U? The only problem I see if the next generation of system, will try to use Cloud storage. |
PS3 doesn't. You can just use any laptop hard drive on it and you're done.
