I can't remember what game it was it might of been Black flag but apparently it took over an hour to install on Xbox one but only 30-60 seconds on ps4. The xb1 is slower at install things it's a fact, dunno whether yours is broke though.

 

Except it's not.

PS4 installs just as slow as X1, it's just that the PS4 has a better file system, where certain files that are necessary for booting the game are prioritised during installs and/or the console is being able read the files from disc to boot the game.

Well this is huge lie.

I changed my HDD on my ps4 to 2tb the other week and had to install everything again. I just poped each disc for batman, the witcher 3, bloodbourne, diablo 3, destiny taken king, infamous second son and it took each no more than a minute without the updates, then I downloaded all the updates together and let it sit over night with the digital version of driveclub and the order 1886 and a few free indy games tht ive gotten. all that was over 350gb of data and it was done fairly quickly, especially the installs from the disc wich my litle nephew has destiny too and I installed it on his x1 and it took like 4 hours, from the disc as well. And yea, he could pplay other digital games while that happened, but that is still unacctpable with todays tech.

 

it's not a lie. It's called knowledge and honestly, you don't posses much technical knowledge then, if you really think that a 50GB disc can be installed on a regular HDD within 60 seconds.

What it probably does (and you confuse it with) is that as soon as you put in the disc, the console reserves the space the game needs on the HDD and installs it for said minute. Then (after swapping various other discs) when you put the first disc in again, it will simply continue with the install, but you won't notice much as the game is already bootable.

I agree that 4 hours install time is unacceptable and I don't know how the PS4 does it, but the X1 does the game install and update download in one go, so that might be the reason why the install appeared so long.
