8. Changing The HDD Shouldn't Be So Complicated

Although the PS4 was never intended to accommodate any external storage devices, it would be in Sony's best interest to make this a possibility in the future, or at the very least provide fans with something that would make swapping out the internal HDD that bit less risky.

Not only does this make sense from a gamer's point of view, just think about how this would benefit developers and publishers. We've seen time and time again how desperate these companies are to make sure you keep playing their games, so if you're having to uninstall one game for every new release, then the likelihood of that title either being traded in or never being played again increases massively.

Even from the beginning it was obvious that both the PS4 and Xbox One should have shipped with a larger storage capacity, but while the competition has made it easy for those with a lot of games to keep them all installed, Sony has been unwilling to provide a similar fix.
