Awkward moment when a game needs as much memory as an entire SD card

Why would that be an awkward moment? You aren't supposed to store your game data on a slow and error prone SD card.

Also, there are different capacities of SD cards. MicroSD card go up to 200 GB (I have one in my Z5 compact) and SD cards go up to 512 GB. So several AAA-games for XBO or PS4 can fit on a SD card or even microSD card.

That situation wasn't any better in the third year of Xbox 360 or PS3, the biggest SD cards back then were 32 GB and the biggest microSD cards could hold 16 GB, so also 1 - 3 AAA-games.  And before the SDHC-standard (2006) 2 GB was the limit (or 4 GB non-standard), so good luck in storing 1 or even 2 PS2 or Xbox games on a memory card.

Just stating that games are slowly getting bigger and bigger. Heck, even 500 GB as 1 TB drives are looking way too small now.
