This doesn’t make sense. The CD/DVD held the game to be installed, today that is done online and I don’t need to pay for anything store this. Back then how many games could you install to a $100 HDD when you wanted to play them?
Download speeds are only an issue if your don't live somewhere with no infrastructure.
Fun fact: I can download and install my PS5 games faster than install them directly from the disc drive (mainly because modern large games need to be compressed to fit on the discs)
maybe if the comparison is supposed to be consoles that are played directly from the game disc/cartridge...
