well the the use of HDD on consoles is slightly diffrent from PC and the result is very effective and significant, especially games that use disc. Most of the games on consoles streamed half from the disc to HDD and to the CPU, unlike PC that need to be instaled.  That's why it doesnt need to have a high speed HDD. They also use a diffrent kind of compresion tech. The reason ofcourse to cut the price as cheap as posible and also the durability. The same thing also use in most of laptop 2.5 sata HDD

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Are you saying half a game is loaded from the HDD and the other half from the disc? And how does installing (like on PC) make it slower? As for compression, it has two sides. On the other hand, it's faster to read from where it's stored, but on the other hand it must be decompressed, which takes CPU time. And most laptops aren't gaming laptops, so you can pretty much ignore them, so that laptop remark isn't very useful. Most gaming PCs are desktops anyway, I think.

it doesn't matter if people playing games on laptop or desktop, as long as the PC able to run the games. And yes the principal of console is almost the same with Laptop, which durability, cheap result, and portability. 

And yes PS4 have abilty to directly stream (actually all console that use HDD) from the Disc to the cpu without instaled , altho most of the games are instaled half of the code and decompresed and run on both (HDD and Disc drive), u can check on Wikipedia.

And also i am not saying consoles is faster then PC or even match the speed of PC , i am saying PC dont have fast loading as well, it depend on how the configuration of the HDD, and yes even 7200 RPM is not that much diffrent from 5200 rpm, it's louder, hotter and consules more power for consoles. The diffrent is hard to tell.

And also what the important thing is not the rpm spedd but the badnwidth , why PS4 and Xbox One is slow and useless if it using SSD because both still using SATA 2 connection (except for the Pro ). And most PC are using SATA 3 for the new mobo
