It is the same issue, streaming assets from the same physical drive hampers optimal performance. Utilizing both HDD and optical drive has an advantage.

The ps3 drive only has 9 MB/s read speed (CLV bad seek times), still enough to make a difference when used together with the HDD.
Next gen has 6x CAV (better seek times) 11 MB/s (inner circle) to 26.3 MB/s (outer edge) read speed, why ignore that asset and make everything full installs.

WOW, I KNOW IT"S the same issue, thats the point, it is 2 opposite methods, retail and digital with the same issue, so again, how is this just a knock on going digital?

Because digital ignores the advantage of having a second resource to load data from.


Disk is faster then optical, this is a non issue, that will be corrected. The retail  on 360 has the same issue so it has zero to do with a second source to load data from.
