The biggest game installs on ps3 are 4 or 5 gb, most a lot less. It's a waste of space to put everything on the hdd.

I agree with most of what you were posting. Just wanted to point out that I have seen at least a couple PS3 games have 10+GB installs, and several that were over 5+GB.

Either way, fully installing a game would be like 20GB per game for a next gen console (I'm guessing here, but Call of Duty games on PC are like 12GB so it could be a tad less than 20GB). If 500GB is the standard HDD size, which it should since that is cheap, that's still room enough for 15-20 active installed games. If you are a hoarder and play older games or game a ton, I'm sure that new feature of playing games while they install would be good if you had to delete some games to make space.


the average wont be that big. Some games will, but not the average game. For comparison my batman arkham city install on my pc is 16.4551 gigabytes, dead space 2 is 9.333008 and LA Noire is 13.59375. Games aren't always huge installs, and memory is cheap. I have a ton of games installed from steam/origin/blizzard and I haven't even filled 1 terabyte yet.
