Next generation, like in 2 or 3 years? I highly doubt that... Id say at the very least, 5 years...

If a 250GB SSD cost right now $600-$700 (Via NewEgg)
and a 1.5TB HDD cost right now $130 (Via any online store)

and Hitachi has announced they will have a 5TB HDD ready in 2010...

So next generation being 2011/2012 we'll have 7TB drives...your saying SSD & HDD will have a 1:1 Price Ratio?

I highly doubt that, you could be right, who knows with technology these days, but I dont see it happening in the next few years to come...

 

but you must remember that the wii's succesor won't need a huge 7tb harddrive, or even anywhere close to that. i think the 6th nintendo cosnole won't be improved that much graphically from the wii, so you could get away with like a 64gb or 128 gb sd card, which while not out yet, will most likely be in a few years, and they will probably be reasonably priced as well.

Ya, I do agree about smaller SSD's being reasonably priced/if not the same as HDD's in the future... but I was simply going off this statement:

"By next generation, SSD's will be 1:1 price ratio with magnetic HDD's."

^ Thats talking about SSD's in general, which I think isn't going to happen... but smaller size SSD's, sure I completly agree...
