Don't you think there's a difference between the MS and Sony situations in which you can install 10 or more games until you have to manage things versus he WiiU situation where you have 4 gigs once you factor in that initial update?

Seems like false equivalence to me.


No really, Wii U doesn't need obligatory installation. Yet, Wii U final price with the external hard drive is way bellow the PS4 with 1 one game and the online subscription. People said the $399 was the nail in the coffin, yet it is not the real cost of the console. 

You're having a lot of trouble seeing the fact people find there's more value in one package than the other package.

$400 is the real cost of the console. You don't need to get any of the other things, and the optional PS+ is another thing that people want to pay because of all the games that come along with it.

If only, if only.

I survived this whole gen with a 12GB launch 360. Never upgraded or used external memory.

If I could do that, than you certainly don't need more memory with 4BONE.

Didn't Yoshiba said PS4 caches (?) games rather than installing them using memory for each individual game? If thats true, it makes this OP's point moot

Yet pretending every model is the 8gig model isnt?

Digital games will still need to be installed. Also that cache will need to be free space on the HDD further limiting storage space

Pretending like 32GB vs 500GB is any better?

Where did I say that? Oh thats right I didnt. Not trying to justify the OP. Trying to point out if false equivalence is bad, why turn around and do it too?Sad you missed the obvious

Not exactly. I will need PS+ to play online. I will need a game that isnt included. I will need the camera to get full functionality.

Here they do have a valid point and you are pulling up nonsense in order to dismiss it. A console with nothing to play is pretty useless so to claim you dont need anything else is a bit silly and honestly shows their point is so valid, you cant find a reasonable argument against it
