A fast storage architecture in the next-generation consoles will necessitate changes in how game developers handle data assets, such as streaming uncompressed assets to reduce bottlenecks.

“this is going to change the way that they can they can load assets into games and i don't think that crediting sony with changing the gaming industry here makes a ton of sense and his statement that there is no ssd for any amount of money that's as fast as this is really stupid”

Factors like exclusives, controller preference, and what friends own are more significant than raw SSD performance when consumers choose a console.

“so i had exclusives whatever your friend group buys so we were overlapping on two of them and then i actually had controller as a major determinant of which console you would prefer because there's so many games that are cross-platform now that i could see people choosing one or the other”
