from my understanding full install is mandatory this gen because tranfer rate of the disc drive is too slow compared to the HDD and other parts of the consoles to be able to run from discs....
well at least that's what I understood from XB1... for PS4 I'm not sure, but if it's the same disc drive I think it will be pretty similar in other words mandatory installs will come with pretty much any game this gen...
now that said I'm planning on going full DD this gen I don't see the issue really ???? storage space is getting cheaper by the minute and it's not like it will be used only for the XB... heck I'll probably set up a new great NAS or something I'll see how this works out.... worst case scenario I'll get a 2TB+ USB 3.0 SSD.... like I have planned to do for ever... I'm just waiting for the right reason, time/price.... seems like 2014 will be it...
and well download I don't really see the issue, I'll just launch the DL at midnight (if we can preorder even better) which would mean I would actually get the game probably earlier than if I bought it physically because I buy online most of the time and even if I go to a local store I never do the midnight line and rarely go the D day.... and I'm pretty sure that is the case for a huge chunk of the gamers population... heck I even get a 6 hour head start since I use US XBL and I live in europe.... so all in all DD will allow me to get games faster than I do today with physical discs...
