So far next gen has been somewhat underwhelming for me.

Wii U lacks games

and XBOX ONE and PS4 although they have some great games incoming the biggest annoyance is the lack of space. Now you may call me crazy and say they got 500gb which is more than Wii U, however what the Wii U does is allow me to install games to external HDDS, which is fantasitc however it has no games to install lol.

Now with the other two, game installs are mandatory. So condiering they are between 20-50gb for popular AAA games, that doesn't really give you much space for many games. Sure I could replace the hdd with a bigger one for PS4 but like that only extends it to say 30 games tops.

I could uninstall the games but why should I have to? My biggest issue is not the uninstalling part but rather all games these days require patches and have DLC. As games become more complex, patches will be required to actually fix game breaking bugs. If i uninstall a game and want to revisit it 5 years from now how do I play it if the patches have been removed for example? MOre importantly when the gen ends how do I get the patches?

So my dilemma is this, I got a Wii U, appreciate the fact I can install games on my own externals, but like WERE ARE THE GAMES LOL. So I want to buy a PS4 but space will be diminishing fast.

Is PC gaming the answer for multi plats and just stick to console exclusives? 

Does anyone else feel like they could bash there head in asking WTF were they thinking with space when they decided on mandatory installs?


Most people with a pc only have double the space of the ps4 and xbox one. The ps4 is easily upgradable, so these complaints about space are as valid as they are for the wiiU. The xbox one on the other hand needs to figure something out.
