Sorry, but that's nonsense. There are very good reasons for mandatory installs (as opposed to: mandatory updates).
The only reason Xbox 360 originally didn't allow for mandatory installs was the lack of storage space on the cheap Arcade/etc. models without harddisk drives. But since there are very good reasons for mandatory installs, Microsoft was actually forced to quietly cancel this policy right in the middle of the Xbox 360 generation.
So it's not that Sony did a mistake on the PS3 that will be fixed on the PS4 - exactly the contrary, it was Microsoft who did a mistake in the beginning of this generation, and that will be fixed next-gen with the Xbone by having the same policy on mandatory installs that PS3 always had.
