FF7R I think will happen on the NS, but it'll be tailor made for the NS. Japan matters to SE and I think they will want their bigger games on NS if at all possible even if they have to make some changes to the games. 

The other stuff yeah you're probably right. 

How big would a PS4/XBone HD have to be if you didn't have to install every game?

PS4/XBone has to install the game and still needs to have the disk. Cartridges don't need to install. The cartridge itself is a hard drive.

What happens when games are 512gb? How does MS/Sony manage? Disks are dead now. Digital has killed Sony's physical media. It's going to take 10 disks or they're going to have to start using 'carts' if they don't want week long installation times.

Disks aren't better than cartridge anymore.

The cartridge is striking back.

Fyi, FFXV file size is around 45gb. Imagine how much space MULTIPLE episodes of FF7r will take up. You cant even keep the game without having to spend 100$++ for memory card

Yes Squenix will support this NS, but it will be through their smaller projects like Bravely, TWEWY series, or spinoff titles

4 x 128gb is half that.

Games? Nobody's making 512GB games anytime soon. That's 10 discs to install for Sony/MS or a lotta lotta internet.

512GB Hard drive the size of a 3ds cartridge for $160 sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Maybe I'm confused as to what you originally, but you're definitely not getting that much memory in such as small form factor at only $160 in the next few years. Memory cards at that size are new, and not cheap. It's not just unreasonable, it's unrealistic. The cheapest 512GB SD card out right now is $290.

That's great and all, but I think the more realistic reality is most Western devs anyway are not even going to bother making their "big" games so the whole debate is kinda moot. 

Devs have a huge userbase between the PS4/XB1/PC ... having to make a "special" version just for the NS which is 1/3 the size and running on a processor that honestly is maybe half an XBox One (at best) is going to be a "thanks, but no thanks" for a lot of devs. 

Eh, that seems like a pretty extreme setup, and people complained that Vita memory cards added too much to the cost, lol.

I think he's saying he's willing to buy multiple (4!) SD Cards and carry them around. 

No, people complained that Vita cards were offensively overpriced compared to SD cards of equal size. I'd love a $160 writable game card with $512GB of memory, because SD Cards of the same size are currently $300.

The issue is that there's no way Nintendo's selling a game card with that much memory for that little money, so why are we even entertaining this?
