this is how you don't share games on playstation :(

The storage price isn't really an issue. For the average game it's probably $2 of storage on a hard drive when it's not currently installed on your console. And digital versions see discounts more often.

I'd say screwing up ownership is a much bigger issue.

I remember when the ps3 released Sony mocked controller rumble as a 'last gen feature'. Now their haptic feedback is the only distinguishing feature of their console.
If you're only counting ones not on their previous consoles. How easy it is to disassemble and clean is a change from prior playstations too.
