Man, I just read that Resident Evil Village on PS5 has a filesize of only 27 GB Vs Ps4 and Xbox's 50+ GB. That is pretty damn incredible.
I think PS5's compression more than makes up for PS5's smaller onboard hard drive. While Xbox has a 1TB hard drive and PS5 has only 825GB, PS5's compression is better so I guarantee you can fit more PS5 games on the PS5 than you can fit Series X games on the Series X. This is, of course, backwards compatible games notwithstanding.
Also, I got an 8TB external drive. Should EASILY be able to fit all my PS4 games and cover me for most if not ALL of the PS5 generation (I also intend to get a 2TB NVME expansion once that feature is unlocked) with the PS5's compression and the fact that ALL my digital PS4 games take up only about 3.5TB total, I think that's a reasonable expectation. As of right now, my actually owned PS4 games (not PS+ games) is about 3TB, then we got a handful of games like Bioshock that add another hefty 500-800 GB, so all of that together up to this point only barely fills my 4TB drive and I just doubled the drive's capacity. Considering I'm unlikely to get many if any more PS4 games, that means I'll have about 3-4TB to work with just for those well-compressed PS5 games.
Looking more and more like a wonderful generation to me!
