When one Wii U game takes up 2 gb, where 1 PS4 game takes up 40 gb.

Which one will use up their space first?  Wii U space 30 gb or whatever it is from the 32 max.  PS4 408 gb.  

Wii U can fit almost 15 games.  PS4 can fit 10 games.

Oh and those are full retail download WIi U games.  If they were disc games then that number would be 1000x higher.  THe PS4 games on disc REQUIRE like 40 gb.  Wii U requires what 10 mb?  

Also its not 92 gb for OS.  Everyone shoudl know these days that when something says its 500 gb you don' tget 500 gb, you get like 470 gb at best, probably closer to 450.  Thus the OS is like 40 gb then.

The point of mentioning the WiiU was quite simple - he made it seem as if the PS4 had been downgraded somehow, and thus, didn't have much memory to work with. In other words, you explained all that for nothing.

As for the HDD, that's my point, the OS can't take up 92GB. So something else is memory hungry, or this is wrong.

The HDD is NOT 500 gb.   I bought like 10 HDD in my life and they are NEVER the size they advertize.  If its advertised 200 gb, it's max is like 180.  If it's advertised 2,000 gb its max is actually only 1,800.  ect.

I found out today why that actually is.  Apparantly HDD count by 1000, while the pc's count 1024.  So a 1024 gb HDD would be seen as 1000 gb.  

Or in this case a 500 gb hdd would only be seen on the PS4 as like 485.  So you lose 15 gb just from different ways of reading size.  

Thus at most the OS is closer to 75 gb than your 92 gb.  While still large, you might be forgetting their could be many apps downloaded as well on the system, such as netflix ect.  

I don't know why we are arguing though.  Who cares where the 92 gb is hiden, whether its from reading size differently or the OS and other apps.  Fact is the PS4 only has 408 gb of available storage that you can use, NOT 500.

We're only arguing because you continue to post long lists of explanations that I don't need. I know how a HDD works. I happen to own quite a few. ;)

THen why do you constantly bring up 92, when you would damn know that its not 92 but a lower number than that just from conversion of numbers
