How much storage will you add to PS5 or XSX?

I will probably buy a 1 TB expansion card for my Xbox Series X at some point, once the price on them goes down some. The 1 TB drive it comes with is not going to hold very many games sadly, current gen AAA games are already averaging over 40 GB, with some games like RDR2 and AC Odyssey hitting as high as 150 GB with DLC. If current gen games are already that big, next-gen games will be even bigger thanks to higher quality textures and other higher quality assets. 100 GB+ will likely become common for AAA games next gen, which means you'll only be able to fit maybe 8-9 average sized AAA games on the XSX drive, since some space will be taken up by the OS.

PS5 has an even bigger problem, because it is only 825 GB, with some of that taken up by the OS you may only be able to fit like 6 or 7 average sized next-gen AAA's on it.

6 games installed at once is plenty, I usually play just one game at a time, not common to play 3 games in rotation. So as long as I can play the game of the moment and perhaps download install the next game I can manage with just small hustle.

For the prices a good SSD will have probably won't add any. At least launch. At most I will have some big HDD if the transfer from one to the other is adequate.

If you intend to install ps5 games, you will need most likely a very good ssd to make the most of the games, the SSD of the ps5 is faster than any ssd currently on the market. So prices will be very high indeed.

External storage would be just for storage, then transfer to internal memory, don't think I'll do it first year but I don't intend on buying expensive extra storage;
