Hello there! Just a Mom trying to familiarize myself with gaming basics for the sole purpose of buying a birthday gift for my boy who will not be expecting it.
I just need a little help with this part because it’s a lot to wrap my brain around.
Does it matter TB to GB when it comes to the gaming console?
TIA

A TB(Terabyte) is 1,024 gb (gigabyte) and for a PS system or any gaming system is is the anount of storage a system can hold. Higher storage space means more games aps etc. For reference most AAA games (69.99 or major game releases) are usually in excess of 40GB per game
For a visual reference i have a 1TB PS5 console and have several AAA large file games. I downloaded god of war yesterday and the file was 56GB for the file
If your on a budget you can get a smaller storage system and buy an external hard dive and sync the storage device to the systen via USB. These are usually pretty cheap depending on the size (my 4TB drive cost me 100$)
Also not sure what system your looking at but snother thing to look at is does it have a disc drive or no. This means can you play phsical copies of a game or do you have to download them.
‘bytes’ are a measure of how much storage any kind of electronic device has. They work similar to regular numbers, where kilo- is a thousand, mega- is a million, etc.
‘GB’ is a ‘gigabyte’. TB is a ‘terabyte’. One terabyte is equal to 1000 gigabytes.
1 TB = 1000 GB.
Most console games these days can reach around 50 GB, which means a 1 TB game console will be able to store around 20 games before it runs out of space. Some games can be as big as 100 GB.
It’s honestly probably better to get the terabyte version, because games are only getting larger and larger. Just a few big downloads will use up almost all of console’s storage if you get, say, a 500 GB model.
TB and GB refer to the amount of storage space the console has. 1 TB = 1000 GB. If you run out of space, the storage space can be supplemented with an external hard drive on most modern consoles. More is always better.
If you mean terabyte and gigabyte, then roughly 1TB is 1000 GB. That tells you how many games you can store on your console. Even games that come on disc will still use some of that number, so more is better if they play a lot of different games. Good on you for doing your homework.
I assume you’re talking about storage capacity. TB stands for terabyte; GB for gigabyte
TB is larger than GB, like a billion is larger than a million
1 TB = 1000 GB (it’s also sometimes listed as 1024 GB, but that is actually tebibyte and gibibyte, correctly abbreviated as TiB and GiB)
If you want more games to be installed simultaneously, then a 1 TB model would be better than a 500 GB model
Oh, so Terabytes (Tb) and Gigabytes (Gb)! There are 1000 Gb in 1 Tb, so 2 Tb is pretty much the same as 2,000 Gb.
It only matters to how many games you can store on the gaming console, before you have to start deleting stuff to free up memory. It doesn’t affect anything else, really. If you were comparing say an Xbox Series S with 512Gb to an Xbox One S with 2Tb, the One S has 4x more storage for games than the Series S.
This matters more with consoles like the Series S, which doesn’t have a disc drive and all games need to be downloaded. All current consoles have memory expansion available though, if space becomes an issue.
TB and GB, stand for terabyte and gigabyte, which are units of storage.
1 terabyte equals 1024 gigabytes of storage, it matters mostly on the ability of the console to hold installed games.
If you for example have a data cap in your internet connection, or a slow connection, it may be better to go with more storage, just to have more games already downloaded and not having to worry about deleting something to download a new game.
Depending on the console you are planning on getting it may be better to go with the most storage if the price difference is low.
As a gamer I would advice that you pick the console based on what his friends have and play with, mostly so they can play together.
Best of lucks!
I am assuming that you are talking about Terabyte (TB) vs Gigabyte (GB).
They mean the same thing: storage.
1 TB = 1000 GB.
The more the better since the more games you have, the more storage you’ll need but don’t worry because you can just uninstall games you are not playing so you can install new ones and just reinstall them when you wanna play them again.
Note: Usually games consume from from 40 to 130 GB of storage so with, let us say, 1 TB, you’d be able to install roughly 10 games at once without having to uninstall other games.
1 TB is roughly 1000 GB
More storage just means more games can be stored on the console at once. It’s not strictly necessary to have more, but it’s really nice to have. It reduces how often you have to remove old games to download new ones (or redownload old ones).
Even games on discs will often have updates that are downloaded onto the console’s storage. Some consoles don’t have a disc drive at all (“all digital” consoles), so storage is a lot more important for those.
