Important to note here that his comment doesn't deny the fact that Xbox could still be better at the same tasks, albeit not in maximum storage speed. The major difference is only in the storage speed and potentially in sound enchancements, so will games utilize this storage speed that often and so crucially that Xbox ports will be cut down? I'm just saying that I doubt it.

I think he's blowing it out of proportion for whatever reason. time will tell.

If they intend to swap resources in and out at that rate and that often to give PS5 an advantage, they can as well play 8K movie for you and save a lot of space on storage.
Imagine 30GB game swapping resources that way every second. It would have so few types of assets to swap between that anyone would realize they swap it for sake of swapping.
So, for it to not look like clear pattern, game would be like 100~200GB.
I think people can find better use for storage space.
Please do not start this nonsense. Save file is created in memory and dumped sequentially to HDD which will take some 8 seconds on regular HDD. SSD can do 1GB sequential write in 2 seconds. And NVMe in 0.5 seconds.
Minutes mark you have come from parsing of attributes that are to be saved and compression/decompression itself. (And that's completely between memory and CPU.)

I cannot agree more, you have to
compare it with price right? 399 the base version seem good. What can you get with the same price? a 2060super and no computer around it.
So to be a 399 computer they squeezed every performance bit per dollar they could get.
Probably xbox is comparable.

What I'm wondering about is where does this leave pc gaming?
Majority of the pc gaming world is either on hdd or the Sata ssds which don't come close to these speeds.
So will pc see a lot less ports from consoles now? Cause some games we have seen like ratchet and clank look like they need an M.2 and yes I know this wouldn't be on pc anyway but used as an example.
Least in terms of the general speed of our hard drives pc is going to be really behind all of a sudden. Or ports will be very different or terrible.
Even game sizes developers don't look to see if we have an ssd or M. 2 drive to make the install smaller or more compressed like it could be.
Anyway might just be chatting a lot of nonsense and time will tell, just wonder what is going to happen on pc games since as I said the majority of people do not have M. 2 let alone pcie4 gen

Well PC's generally have more system and video ram
We will still get ports but maybe with a bit slower load times here and there

Never owned an XB only PS but...
I dont think Xbox versions will be cut down, more like the opposite will happen.
SONY knows they got a weaker console and are trying to make it look so good by selling us the fast SSD which doesnt matter that much.
Everyone forgets that the developers target both consoles (PS4 and XB1 was the same .. XB1 being weaker as we all know, the difference was most of the time output resolution and at the end of the life cycle some eye candy as well in some titles, also XB1X / PS4 Pro situation we got same but some games got cranked up settings in XB1X than the PS4 Pro versions of the games).
Games need to meet the speeds of the SSD of the XBSX (as a base speed) so they can run on both consoles normally.
The only logical way we could see that fast SSD in PS5 are PS5 exclusives and probably full potential use of it by the end of the life cycle.
Dont think 52CU vs 36CU (same gen CU) no matter how high clock they are can compete graphic wise, 20% OC doesnt mean 20% more performance.
N.B. XBSX design wins in my opinion, will blend in in any environment you put it with its simplistic / minimalistic design (which in 10y will spill look simple, yes, but not outdated) compared to the HUUUGE Dubai sky scraper looking Christmas tree called PS5 with its blue lights (design is already outdated or will be in couple of years and obviously is targeting 10-20yo that likes RGB in everything) PS5 wont blend in in anyone's living room unless its Christmas. (Still getting it but chances me getting XBSX as well are big)
