| Zkuq said: We'll end up with the cheapest solution that's good enough for the storage requirements of the next generation. That is, we should probably know more about the storage solution before speculating about the interface it's going to use. Also, I'm not expecting SSDs to become cheap enough by the start of the next gen. Small ones might become cheap enough, but they don't have enough storage capacity. Capacity requirements keep rising, so a small SSD won't suffice even for the cheapest models. |
There won't be a proper next gen until we SSD becomes cheap enough. HDD's are not fast enough to facilitate the amount of RAM we need, and the streaming speeds we will need for next gen games.
SSD capacity is going to make gigantic leaps in going forward, and as we start getting 64TB, 128TB, 256TB, 512TB, and 1PB drives, the prices for 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB drives will drop rapidly.
Everything lines up very well for a next gen in about ~2022. We will have he CPU, GPU, RAM, and Storage requirements required to deliver a solid next gen experience, and not just a more polished PS4/XB1 experience.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
