SlappingOysters writes: One of the biggest challenges for gamers during this generation of consoles is ensuring you have enough hard drive space to hold the latest blockbuster. Given that every game needs to be installed in order to be played, and games often weigh in at over 40GB, the 500GB of storage that comes as standard doesn't stretch far. Finder.com has provided a handy resource, listing the install sizes for every PlayStation 4 game (460 and counting) and every Xbox One game (290 and counting). The list is searchable, and can be ordered.

Size and heat by KatchooNJ · 2015-09-10 03:01 · Score: 3, Insightful

Can anyone explain why they insisted on using 2,5" drives in both consoles? It seems like they could have shipped with 1tb for the same price if they'd used 3.5" drives. It's not like a few extra cubic inches of volume would have made people walk away from the deal.
Simple answer... size and heat. Everyone wants to produce the smallest console that also doesn't burst into flames.
