Eh, just based on the 409 GB that it has, some games will be less than 45 GB but if that were the average, it's 9 games. Are you really going to be playing 9 games at the same time?

Maybe not, but it is a giant PITA to install and uninstall games. Sometimes you don't want to go through the hassle.

I would focus on replacing the hard drive before buying another game.

We're talking about video games here, not 480p movies with live action actors. A higher native resolution game, all other things being equal, is better looking than a lower native resolution game.
However it does prove that native resolution has little correlation to image quality. The meme of X is higher resolution than Y therefore it looks better is a fallacy. Do comparisons of any game series on the same console, and if pushing pixels is the only means to better graphics they should all have the same graphical qualities, however they're not, the later versions look better, because the developers have refined and optimized those graphics, they've improved texture rendering techiques, lighting, particle effects, diffusion screens, fogging, reflections, etc. Ultimately a live action graphic and a computer generated graphic in the ideal should look as high quality as each other, if the live action graphic at lower pixel resolution looks better than a computer generated graphic at a higher resolution then the answer is not more pixels.

More pertinently if you're looking for top of the line graphics in a console, you're looking in the wrong place, PC is where it's at, it's where it's been since shortly after the launch of the PS2.

I played some Xbox1 over my brothers house last night and was quite impressed. I really like some of the new features that are integrated within the console. After seeing what the Xbox1 hand to offer has now officialy put me on the fence on getting PS4 or Xbox1. Still leaning more towards the PS4 since all of my freinds are going that route, but think that the Xbox1 is the better overall console in terms of intergrated features. Can't say which console will deliver the superior gaming experience over the life of the generation, we will have to wait and see.

I'm sure you'll be very happy with the Wii U as it'll be home to Nintendo's excellent first-party offerings but you'll still want the PS4 for third-party games.

My plan is to go with the PS4/Wii U combo like all the cool kids are doing.

Make more since than having both Xbox1 and PS4. I would pair one or the other with Wii U.

The only games I am looking forward to are Watch Dogs, Super Mario 3D World, Rayman Legends, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and Mario Kart 8 all available for the Wii U so I probably won't even bother with the PS4.
