The PlayStation 4 is built with a 500GB hard drive, which seems like a lot of space. Previous consoles had 20, 60 or 80GB of space when they launched several years ago. But along with hard drives, games have grown tremendously in size.
For big-budget, triple-A titles, the average next-generation game will take around 40GB of space. Sony also requires games to be installed via disc. Here's what the company says on its blog:
Yes, all PS4 Blu-ray Disc games must be cached to the hard drive to ensure a smooth gaming experience. However, certain titles may not require you to wait for the game data to be fully cached before starting gameplay.
Combine this with the fact the PS4 can't support external hard drives, according to Sony, which would be an easy solution. Users can opt to replace the internal SATA II hard drive themselves, if the new drive meets Sony's specifications.

No external harddrive support, yet it requires all games to be installed? You'll be able to install like 8 games on the amount of space they give you.
C'mon Sony, even the Xbox One (and 360, for that matter) will support external harddrives.
