They're called archival because they (most likely) will have terrible read and/or write speeds.Due to release next year these new "Archival Discs" will hold 300GB and up to 1TB. Next gen Playstation digital only? Not so sure.

Think these been around a while or maybe I am thinking of the 300GB holodiscs. This is good for devs as they will tell you even if a game is 10GB in size it took several terabytes of data to develop it. Even when making trailers for games took hundreds of GB's of footage to widdle down. This would be easier than transfering HDD around.
As for PS5. I woul dnot doubt it as PS5 maybe a 4k Gaming machine and that obviously takes much more data.

Cool, now they can make a game that will take a year real time to complete. That would rule.

I don't know about 4K gaming next generation (PS5). Maybe, but I don't know.

^ Panasonic has made and manufactured Nintendo Optical Discs and drives since Gamecube.
Also it was Phillips who did CDi. Panasonic was one of the licensed companies to produce 3D0 systems from 3D0 themselves.

Lack of space isn't the reason why there's no game that takes a year of real time to complete.
