The Switch games aren't 40-60GB in size........

Try and ask why something is every once in a while... lest you risk coming off as ignorant.

Sony amd MS aren't making every game require installs simply cause they are trying to piss people off.

Nintendo are making 64GB carts, so yeah it's possible.

You can solve the storage problem on PS4 right now if you want. A 4TB external USB3.1 Gen 1 drive is only $100, and if you don't want an external drive, you can get a 4TB Internal Drive for $175. It's even less if you don't need 4TB. You can easily add storage to have 100's of games on your PS4 if you want.

For next gen having faster storage with less seek times is the most important. 1TB of M.2 NVMe storage as a standard, with the option to upgrade is the way to go. Then have External SSD support over USB3.1 Gen 2 from day one. The console should be built for the causal gamer, the core market that wants more than 1 or 2 games a year can fork out a little more if they want to play that much.

1. Backwards compatibility
2. A decent amount of RAM and a good GPU + CPU (I don't care about the cost)
3. PSVR V.2
4. 4K/60fps on most titles (unrealistic)
5. Great launch lineup
6. For the console to be quiet because my pro on certain games sounds like a jet engine, I clean it on a regular basis too
That's about it really, could say more but for me there the main thing she I would want

4k/60, x86, $400-$500.

1440p/1800p checkerboard is acceptable if it means higher detail. Improved load times however they achieve it, preferably half of what a similar game would take this gen. Even if the games double in file size compared to this gen, 2TB mass storage should be the minimum, or drop it altogether and force external. Minimal changes to the controllers. Just as many games if not more, but hopefully not all that much larger than the largest AAA this gen, since they can take up their fair share of play time and then some.

Probably all SKU's with optical drives since splitting them between digital only and physical makes BC tougher and also increases the price of the physical SKU due to less drives being ordered. External mass storage support from day one.

For PS5 specifically, a cooling system with near silent operation, whether that means a better heatsink and fan etc, or a larger, easier breathing shell. Also native BC with PS4, not PSNow. "Cross play" should also be allowed at launch, even if it's only PS gamers vs XB gamers.

For 'XB2' specifically, get Halo back on track, more first party games, and much more game variety. If XB wants to get more first party titles on other platforms, including PS5, while I think that's a poor decision in terms of hardware sales, it would make buying a PS5 a no brainer for me.

Release Q4 2021
Launch price $500, native 4k or/and 60 fps costs money. Every game is HDR by default.
Many crossover titles like a new Elder Scrolls and Cyberpunk.
A new Horizon Zero Dawn.
That it will still accept my GT wheel.

I don't know. Moah grfxxx?

I hope the new consoles display HDR by default. The OS, web browser, store, etc. should all be HDR optimized. Hopefully by 2021 all new content being made is in HDR. It is a generational leap in TV tech, and much more impressive than 4K alone.

And, yes, the Thrustmaster T-GT had better be PS5 compatible. That thing cost more than the PS4 Pro and PSVR combined.

Perfect controller (DS5).

BC, even though I don’t play my old games all the time it would be good if I didn’t have to have PS3, PS4, and PS5 set up. It can’t be too hard to put my PS classics from PSN on PS4.

Storage probably would need to be 2TB min.
