This just follows the same rules as networks have always seemed to; If
you build it, they will come, and you'll have to build more. :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_demand :-) On Thu., Jan. 23, 2020, 09:40 Tom Beecher <beecher () beecher cc> wrote:

More work on the software side, but it was likely a better option than getting blasted on Twitter because "OMG I WANT TO PLAY AND MY DOWNLOAD IS TAKING 8 HOURS".

Any thoughts from the community? We're taking steps to accommodate, but from a capacity-planning perspective, this seems non-linear to me.Be prepared for an entire new world of hurt this holiday season. Sonyhas alreadyconfirmed that PS5 releases will ship on 100Gbyte blu-ray disks. Whichmeans thatdownload sizes will be comparable…There’s also the “we will stream you all the data things” I keep hearing about like the Consoles without discs or some other thing I can’t remember the name of. I think this is a tribute to how we’ve built and upgraded networks for capacity and speed. - Jared
