A Look Back At The PS5 Pastebin Leak

Well, looking at the list, many of these are very obvious/likely, right?
These in particular:

"PS5 official info from Sony somewhere around next E3(Sony will not be participating on E3),i'd say Q2 2019 small reveal"
"PS5 release March 2020 or November 2020,not yet finalized"
"backward compatible"
"physical games & ps store"
"PSVR2 in 2020"

You don't have to do much guesswork there.

Petty much the main one they'd have to make a somewhat uneducated guess on would be the core and thread count of the already heavily rumored Ryzen and Navi GPU & CPU.

However, another 'fairly obvious' one would have been a 2TB HDD.
I'm not listing it above because to most people's surprise, it turns out they'll focus on SSD.

So this might be an area where that paste bin leak guessed incorrectly. Unless there's also an HDD inside. But you'd think this leaker would mention the SSD since it's such an important factor.

Could someone possibly know the thread and core count of the CPU, but not that it uses an SSD? Or that it loads incredibly fast?
That seems a bit hard to believe.

I don't see how a small reveal was obvious when the PS4 got an incredibly hyped PS Meeting as its reveal. Neither was the release date. A lot of speculation, but nothing obvious, with predictions ranging from 2019-2022. The other three I'll give you.

How is the drive incorrect? Yes, he incorrectly labeled it HDD, which usually means the mechanical type, BUT right after he uses that term he states it uses NAND Flash, so he obviously meant SSD. Or it may still have a HDD, but has a large pool of NAND that aids loading the game you are playing.
