Yes. Deal With It. Because they've changed and will never ever ever change again and never ever ever should!

Just because these changes happened doesn't mean the trend is wise. Doesn't mean the circumstances that motivated the change won't shift. It's already begun. The multimedia aspects that consoles have given themselves over to (that caused the bloat of pc-esque multitasking which is the real issue, not just installs) are being absorbed into numerous devices that are easier to get. All that fluff is going to be meaningless filler that should be cut. IMO, as this trend continues, there may very well be a race to convenience and specialization, where the one who can recapture that in a quality experience will win out. I would not be shocked if in the next gen or two, consoles don't start looking for new medium alternatives to discs to try and eliminate the need for installs and/or ridiculous load times.
