Only those with adhd... You could also finish one game, then play the next. Why would you play more than 5 games at the same time! Plus think of all the extra time you save with less scrolling through the installed games list ;)

Or those with a family.  I have a wife and kids who will want a few games installed.  This is especially important with couch coop games (e.g. sackboy), given as a family we may want to pickup and play randomly on a Friday night.  I would also like to keep Monster Hunter and Souls games installed, because again I randomly pickup and play online.  For me the storage game is a problem.  

Valid point, I have the same problem. I bought a ps4 pro so my kids could keep their games on the base ps4. Fortnite, Ark, Skylanders, Minecraft, GTA and the base ps4 is already pretty full. I like to keep GT Sport installed, 105 GB, needs that amount again to patch. I really hope Sony fixed that with the ps5 so you don't need as much or more space free for a game for a simple 500 MB patch. (Plus it took 35 minutes to copy the game to install a 500 MB patch)

So yep, I'll have the same problem again with PS5 :( I think I still rather buy a second console instead of adding an expensive SSD or waiting 10-15 minutes to move stuff back and forth to an external HDD. Kinda sucks it's so big.

Storage space increase on the ps4 was reasonable, I upgraded to 2 TB, which was enough to hold 40 some games.  I think the 2 TB drive was $100.  The concern with the ps5 drive is the cost.  Some believe adding 1 TB will be $200+. 

Really for me the best solution, assuming Sony fixes the issue, is store ps5 games on an external.  Copy over as needed.  I would guess copying over via USB 3.0 is rather quick (ish).  

Either way I want a ps5.  How Sony handles the storage issues ultimately will dictate how many games I purchase.  As it stands today, I will be incredibly selective.  For more selective than I was with the ps4.
