According to the Wired article "it will ditch the spinning hard drive". So it might not be a cache after all.

Wired is talking shit because it sounds better. I have yet to see an official statement. A 500GB SSD is completely unrealistic even for a $500 console.

What I can see them doing is release a console with a 120GB SSD and either release another version with a 2TB HDD or try to load of the responsibility for more storage to the consumer.

They are already advertising the ability of only partially installing games. If that doesn't scream tiny storage I don't know what does.

Digital foundry in their article say they think a 1tb ssd is likely, it does sound expensive but we'll see what happens.
