The Reality of Next Generation
Now it is insanely unlikely anyone will sit down and install all of these games from the PlayStation Plus Collection at the same time. This does a fantastic job of highlighting just how little space both next-generation Xbox and PlayStation consoles have in the long run. With many of us having upgraded to external hard drives already at this point in the generation. I have three 1TB drives for my Xbox One X alone.
It is troubling that the price point for memory expansion will be high for a relatively long time. There are gamers out there that may not have the option of downloading and uninstalling big games regularly, due to data caps. It’s just another hurdle that will come with next-generation technology, unfortunately. Fingers crossed that the price of these memory expansions decreases soon.
