How big would a PS4/XBone HD have to be if you didn't have to install every game?

PS4/XBone has to install the game and still needs to have the disk. Cartridges don't need to install. The cartridge itself is a hard drive.

What happens when games are 512gb? How does MS/Sony manage? Disks are dead now. Digital has killed Sony's physical media. It's going to take 10 disks or they're going to have to start using 'carts' if they don't want week long installation times.

Disks aren't better than cartridge anymore.

The cartridge is striking back.

That's great and all, but I think the more realistic reality is most Western devs anyway are not even going to bother making their "big" games so the whole debate is kinda moot. 

Devs have a huge userbase between the PS4/XB1/PC ... having to make a "special" version just for the NS which is 1/3 the size and running on a processor that honestly is maybe half an XBox One (at best) is going to be a "thanks, but no thanks" for a lot of devs. 

That userbase will soon be splitting into PS4/PSPro-VR/PS5/XB1/Scorpio/XBVR/PC/PC-VR. 

Lots and lots of timely and costly development, for what? CoD and FIFA in 4K and some kinectywaggle-minigames in VR?
