It's enough unless you want to download every game, which very few will want to do anyway.

Yes but i thought all Disc games were installed and therefore same size as download games?

Most installs are comparatively small aren't they? If they were the same size as the whole game Uncharted 2 would be like 40gbs

The problem with using PS3 game sizes as an example is that because the PS3 Bluray drive has slower seek speeds they put the same data in multiple places on the disc to increase the speed.  This results in replication of data in PS3 disk images which raises the size.  This will not be an issue for the PS4, Xbox One or Wii U as they all will be using newer drive technology which are faster.

I personally would have preferred 1TB but I can understand why they though 500GB was enough for the majority and the money saved is probably critical at launch.  I fully expect the HDD size to increase in the future as has happened with the PS3 this generation.
