I have a Wii U, and thus far, not much. I still have a majority of my native (deluxe model) memory left, and I have an old 80gb hard drive waiting in the wings whenever I might need it. Thing is, I'm not going to be downloading any retail titles digitally. To me, it just isn't worth it to download something THAT big, taking up that much space. I'd rather just buy the disc, own the game physically, and pop that fucker in and play (after any mandatory update which is an unfortunate part of modern console gaming, that is).

The only digital games I'm going to be downloading, are eShop only titles. And considering there are many being made and eventually coming to Wii U, there is a strong chance that I will be running out of system room sooner than later. So it's good I have that HDD handy. However, I think 80 extra gbs is more than enough for the long-haul, so long as eShop only titles don't make a habit of being many gigs large.
