Sounds believable enough.
Expected more usable space for all consoles, but this is the price you have to pay for quick resume, I guess.
It's a weird timing situation where SSDs are just past the verge of making sense. I think most would agree that 2TB (aka 1759GB) would be sufficient, but that'd up the price by $100. Eventually the PS5 will make more sense in the storage capacity area, because of Sony's expansion solution of validating off the shelf SSDs. SSD prices will go down, capacities up. Microsoft went proprietary, and we know how that tends to work out.

And requires everyone to have Warzone installed even if you have no interest in playing it at all.
It doesn't really matter how long the download is though? You would simply have to deal with keeping one less game installed.
I mean it sucks if your internet is so slow but I guess you could just go with a regular PS5 so you don't have to deal with downloading so much.
Anyways, the lack of storage is a problem for both playstation and Xbox. An extra 135Gb on Xbox isn't suddenly plenty because some magical treshold has been broken.
I absolutely can't wait to see a game load and into gameplay in 2 seconds on the ps5...it's something I cant even fathom.
from ui to in game in 2 seconds....insane!
...is this a serious post?
Have you seen how big games already are? They are hardly smaller at all. Smaller, yes, but still big. Come on. "Move along" really?
Yea that will end up around 330 gb .
330gb xss
670gb ps5
800gb xsx
Around the ballpark. It's smaller but games won't be as big as XsX or PS5 games. About 30% smaller and we don't know if the reserved Quick Resume space is as large.
Nope, because oodle textures is only for textures, hence the name. Depending on the data compression ratio will vary.
Meh, this is not a big deal to me, and it certainly isn't shocking. As soon as we knew that the PS5 SSD was a little over 800GB, we should've all known this was coming - particularly if these consoles both have some sort of multi-game suspend and resume features.
The Xbox's usable space didn't bother me, and this doesn't either. I've typically got like 3-4 games installed at the most, along with a smattering of much smaller indie games.

Much ado about nothing. I had 500gb all last gen. I beat games and delete them.
If you are worried, buy the disk version and/or plug in an external drive. Not like the completion is offering a tremendous amount more space.

Let us pray that the ssd means no need for asset duplication therefore we get smaller file sizes next gen.
I agree, its manageable I think if people are smart with their gaming. I had little issues using the 1TB on the One X this last gen.
Are you only playing indie titles? The average game is around 35-50gb with some being much larger. Even titles like RDR2 come in at over 100gb.
ye it has a expandable nvme slot. you can also transfer stuff to and from a external hdd/ssd via usb.
Yes, only $100 less and probably close to half the available storage. Not that much more economical imo
An official one hasn't been shown yet afaik, but it almost assuredly will
EDIT: Corrected above
You can backup games on external HDD on Ps5 and Xbox, if your connection is slow or has a monthly limit.
I'm usually hovering around 600gb on my ps4 pro. Doesn't seem like that big of a deal. Games like modern warfare 2019 aren't common from what I've seen.
Nope. PS5 DE is a better economic proposition for 100$ more. Same price the PS4 launched at in 2013. And offers a much better expandability option as SSD begins to drop in price.
I mean it is news in that people finally know exactly what the usable space will be out of the box - while we knew it would be around 620-670gb, we never knew where it would land.
Also while I expect game sizes to be less at the start of the generation compared to currently, sizes I think will blow out again a couple of years out and the size of these drives in launch units will be a significant issue for both the PS5 and S/X
supposedly it uses smaller assets, let's see if thats true. It may end up holding exactly the same amount of games as the ps5 once the series S filesizes are made public. Who knows though.
I'd say they're even more concerned. Era is very concerned these days. I wonder if I should start being more concerned.
The other one has psnow and if they want game rental services like gamefly . So its not really gamepass vs nothing .
1. Not every game will be Kena or load up that fast
2. Quick resume gets you in your game faster than cold boot to menu screen, resume game and start from last checkpoint.
Sorry, as a soon-to- be PS5 owner, I'd love to have something like Quick Resume.
Of course u can . And if u have external ssd then the transfer will be extremely quick as well.
No issue then, I usually only jump around 2/3 games at a time.
It's a $300 next-gen console, and $200 cheaper than it's next-gen spec'd alternative. It's also designed to play games at approximately 1/4-1/3 the resolution, meaning installs shouldn't be larded up with assets designed for 4K.
Ok.
I don't see why anyone should be concerned about this. Current generation consoles were mainly 500GB and we were fine with it. Keep 12 games in your SSD and shuffle the rest via external USB.
PS5 is probably even better placed than XSX for that shuffle since I think it has faster USB ports.
Shuffle will stall for time until SSD prices drop
