I was not in forums yet, I believe you but those complains died years ago while the storage problems of wiiu are still a thing to shit about and is just because the number (32gb VS 500 GB) the only thing that people apreciate, numbers, but at the end of the day, they both give very similar problems for different reasons. |
LOL 32gigs vs 500 isnt just numbers. That is a BIG difference. Hell 32gigs would fit three PS3 games

Most games on Wii U are roughly 2-4 GB while most games on the PS4 are 25-50GB. 8-16ish games possible for install (generalizing of course) for the Wii U, and 10-20 games on the PS4 (generalizing of course). Not that much of a difference. However, I picked myself up a 2TB external HD for the Wii U which is far more than I will ever need for $104 two years ago now, that I plugged into the USB and works perfectly. Similar thing with the PS4, you can get a 2TB for a similar price. Installation isn't hard by any means, but at the same time is not plug and play. There is the possability of screwing up the machine by changing the HD due to static, or the use of a magnetic screw driver. Unlikely but possible.
Not that different really when you look into it.
Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Both of those are incorrect, or at least inherrently incorrect.
The Wii U DOES have a SSDHD.
The difference between what a game takes up on the drive in comparison is vastly different.

| cheshirescat said: Because the wii u's flash drive is prohibitively (and hilariously) small, to the point where it's almost impossible not to need an external hdd, whereas the ps4's is merely relatively small, though also needlessly complicated to upgrade. |
Actually, if someone doesn't download games, it's far more than sufficient. More than enough room if someone doesn't go digital. If going digital, it can be a very different story. Most games are fairly small, but some others are quite large compaitively, like X or Smash.

What is a SSDHD? A Solid State Drive Hard drive? There's no such thing.
I kinda agree with the OP.
I have 32 retail Wii U games (3-4 being digital) and just now have ran out of space in my 32gb wii u
For comparisons with my ps4, I have retail 10 games (none being digital) and I am very close to running out of space.
I think the point the OP makes - despite being smaller - is that 32 gb on the Wii U is far more sufficient than the 500gb given to the ps4 in terms of storage needs
This is my experience anyway
this is totally not an issue for me. It's only an issue if you want to get your games digital on Wii U. I buy all my games physical and i have more than enough space. With how well the prices on Wii U games hold up why would you even want to buy digital?
currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

When I saw SSDHD I was like "Huh? I didn't write that". But I did lol. I meant SSHD. But after looking it up, it's just an SSD. Either way, it's still a form of storage. The Wii U doesn't and a traditional HD, but it does have a SSD.

Some of you have clearly not read the OP.
If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing

| Intrinsic said: First you compare 32GB to 500GB. Then you seem oblivious to why its necessary to install all games on the HDD. Think of this, WiiU games come on DVD type discs. Max capacity of 9.5GB. what that tells you is that a level in any WiiU game is probably no bigger than 2GB of assets that needs to be in system RAM at any one time. now imagine you needed to move as much as 5GB of assets from the disc to RAM to load up a level. and that you were doing that all from a disc as opposed to from a HDD which has average speeds that are over 4 times faster than a disc. And then you somehow suggest that you need to "open your console" to change the HDD in the PS4, I wouldn't call sliding off something that's adequately called "the HDD faceplate" opening the console, just go look at what you need to do to change the HDD in an XB1. That's opening a console The PS4 supporting external HDDs isn't a priority cause its the only console of the 3 that has instructions on how to change the HDD in the manual and that so doing doesn't void your warranty. And lastly, you have options, if you don't want to go through the trouble of practicing a little data management, then you can spend $69 on a 2TB HDD and another 10 mins installing it into your console. its not a big deal. |
Wiiu doesn't use dvd discs... it's actually a bluray disc, single laer, and has a capacity of 25 GB.
