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. |
My 320gb ps3 is filled up with normal game installs, a bunch of ps+ games, psn games, movies, videos, music, pictures. 500gb will be gone in no time if all next gen games require full installs.
Play while installing is a nice feature, although it remains to be seen how that is going to work exactly.
The main problem is having to delete stuff every time a new game comes out. Someone mentioned Steam. I have the same problem there, about 10% of my games are installed, the rest all deleted. 1tb is full with plenty of other stuff competing for space.
It's just putting up extra barriers when you quickly want to revisit an older game.
