No, this isn't the fifth or sixth gen, an external hard drive is not a memory card in a day and age when a hard drive is standard equipment, a lot of people don't just have external hard drives lying around like they did with dvd/blu ray players. I got through last gen with a 60 gb xb360 and 80 gb ps3 (and a wii as well) by deleting data when I needed to accomodate new games, but I always had enough spare room for my favorites to sit around taking up space so I didn't have to download or install them again. Given the ps4 and xb1's hdds I imagine I will be able to do that same thing this gen if I feel like it. With the tiny size of the wii u's hard drive they practically removed that as an option. |
If that's your preference, that's great. I buy too many games I guess and don't want to delete and redownload old games if I feel like playing them (I also often bring out old games to 100% complete them after my initial beating them on hard mode) because I switch from old to new games quite often. Different strokes for different folks though. I recommend buying a cheap hard drive to everyone so it keeps all thier games a plug in away, but that's just me. I've had one for my PS3, I've bought numerous XBox 360 harddrives, and I got one for my Wii U. For me this is just the way gaming has been for the past several years and continues this gen.
