Wow, that seems like a whole bunch now. But remember the original Xbox had an 8 gig hard drive. Which was amazing and a first for a console back then. Now the Xbox One has 8 gigs of RAM. And Crytech says that is the limiting factor. Technology like to march on an eat up hardware.
So 16 is huge right now, and probably more than this gen will need. But next gen...
I think at some point they will offer and Xbox One with 1T or 2T hard drives. Maybe in the Slim.
Note: Also remember this is on USB 3.0 so it can be faster than the built in hard drive.
