XSeX will REQUIRE propietary storage for all next-gen games. External HDDs will only work for older games.

A potential downside of the proprietary NVMe SSD, however, is that buyers will likely only be able to purchase the SSD cartridges directly from Microsoft or official partners. Meaning you likely can’t just purchase third-party alternatives that could potentially be cheaper or more readily available.

On the plus side.........they're not really making any actual "next-gen" games for the first two years.

If true Xshit is already dead in the water.  Fucking stupid.  Lemmings have been raped again

There's no other option you morons, the drive has to operate at a specific speed no less than what the internal does to ensure proper loading and caching.

 

With current gen consoles they used the lowest denominator of HDD's, that's not the case here. Here its core to proper system operation and has to meet a certain specification.

 

Why do you think Sony had cartridge patents...

damn, I hope they make a 2tb model. I can justify shuffling game on that size of storage but 1tb ain't enough

The one thing Lemmings didn't want MS to copy from Sony; proprietary formats...

The PS5 will be the same. It's crazy we are getting very fast SSDs next gen anyways, this bitchfest isn't justified.

 

They have no other choice like Dynamite pointed out.

yes there is... don't make it a propriety.  Use the same cards but the non proprietary option.

seems like they partnered with seagate to produce these drives. Pretty much 99% of external hdds sold are seagates.

You can store X Series games on an external HDD and swap it onto the internal to execute. It was the best case scenario, so this thread is stupid.

is it these?

 

 

they're pretty cool. they should do away with discs and ship games on these, cartridges are superior

People will buy trash on Newegg with 1/4 th the necessary bandwidth. The answer is obvious.

It has to be proprietary in design or as Aza noted people would buy storage which falls below the system requirement and fuck themselves over. 

 

How isn't this obvious to you?

[Ike★ 2,906]

OP is stupid and this thread sucks.
