Link.

PS4's game DVR records seven minutes of footage, not 15, according to Neil Brown's tech talk at Develop a couple of weeks ago.

This is clearly a software-issue. Both Sony and MS can expand this any time.
IMO they should ask the user how many GB of his HDD he wants to have used for recording game footage permanently.

You should have options for this, like "512MB, 1GB, 5GB, 10GB - pick one!" that should be more than enough and the Xbox One comes with a 500GB anyway, so that would not be a real space issue.

i'm not sure about MS but as i understand it the ps4 is using a dedicated chip/memory for video capture.  i think for them it is a hardware issue as nothing writes to the harddrive until you actually save a video from that buffer.

 

...also, 500Gb isn't going to be enough.  with the mandatory full game installs both systems require your going to quickly find (especially if you buy a MGS game @ ~50Gb) that 500 Gb won't last very long at all.  i'm personally going to swap out my drive the day i get my ps4.   i'll probably pick up 2 Tb.  ...but i'll probably still run out of space.  :(
