I think there is an issue in that home consoles from Sony and MS have effectively become cheap living room PC's, inefficient as game consoles and installing to play games is part of that. I blame MS for that, since it was a major goal of their's from the initial conceptualization of the XBox line. But I digress. I don't think most fanboy gamers are being naive about the cost of an XBOne or PS4 when it comes to installs. I don't think it's actually a big deal, most gamers only buy 10 games in their console's life. My personal pet peeve is that people tend to completely ignore the cost of online gaming - especially when talking about the PS4 since so many fans of PS3 praised the free Sony online but are fine with paying for PS4. I hate that 2/3 hardware platforms have taken this route and that gamers aren't revolting. They see $399 PS4, think it's cheaper than PS3 and they cheer. I would seriously consider getting a PS4 but I almost don't want to out of principle.
