Remember the PlayStation Vita" Remember how it required proprietary SD cards in order to expand the storage, cards that were not just exclusive to Sony, but also ridiculously expensive compared to the comparable standard SD cards used in everything else" Next-gen consoles may face the same issue as huge leaps in technology mandate very specific storage solutions, namely proprietary external memory cards.
USGamer reported on this facet of today?s Eurogamer/Digital Foundry spec breakdown of the Xbox Series X. Because of the fundamental structure of the console architecture, standard external storage solutions just aren?t going to cut it. Developers are going to be developing at a specific baseline that assumes all players have their games stored on a solid-state drive (among other much more complicated factors involving how the system utilizes that storage for additional processing). For the Xbox Series X in particular, you won?t be able to plug in a USB HDD?or even a USB SSD?to get an extra couple of terabytes to store games. The Digital Foundry hands-on breakdown of the Series X internals confirmed that Microsoft is using a proprietary solution developed by Seagate. The custom-built NVMe SSD cartridges plug into a dedicated proprietary external memory port.
