Common sense said so...

I mean you have an X86 architecture with 8 Gb GDDR5 ram and 8 core cpu with awesome GPU...running games in 1080p@60 frames per second. And this is all supposed to run of a slow 6x bluray drive, which runs at around 20MB per second data trasfer rate in the real world...not gonna happen unless you like 2 minute loading times between levels.

Lol, why do you keep saying BS like this?  Common sense says, otherwise.  If ND, GG, and others can make games with NO installs using a 2x drive and games that are 25GB-45GB, I'm sure they'll be fine with a 6x drive and games in the same ballpark, maybe slightly larger.  And for the games that do have an install, it will be JUST like the PS3, with a partial install, but the disc is still required.

Game size has nothing to do with it...its video bandwidth and overall processing power that does.

PS3 had a tiny straw for moving data(2x bluray) but it also took tiny gulps of data since gpu wasnt very powerful...and it still needed manditory installs for some games.

Well PS4 can take huge gulps of data compared to PS3 and youre saying a little bigger straw is good enough.
