1. I think even the base PS4 had a seperate pool of DDR3 ram. Though i think it was like 256MB or something like that. So really what we saw in the PS4pro is just a progression of that. It really comes down to what they intend to do with the system OS. If for some reason they decide to have as much as 8GB of system Ram, then in that case it would make more sense going for LPDDR4 ram as a seperate ram dedicated to the OS leaving the 16GB/20GB of GDDR6 ram untouched for games.
   
   
   
   
2. Well, Right now a 240GB SSD costs around $70 at retail. In 2020 it would probably cost around $50 at retail and for sony, soldering nand chips onto their MB (which costs even less than bulk ordering SSD drives) it would most likely cost them significantly less. So they could be spending like $20 or so for 200-256GB worth of nand flash storage. Another $20 for a 1/2TB mechanical drive. So its doable.
   
   
   Or the could spend like $40/$50 on what would amount to around 840GB/1TB of on board nand flash storage and forgo the mechanical drive completely  while still making room for the customer to put in there own HDD if they wanted or supporting external HDDs from day one. 

 

I would much rather see them go with 1TB of M.2 NVMe storage, with the ability for us to upgrade. I also think they should only support external SSD due to speed requirements. It will be a slight hit in 2020 or 2021, but SSD price will fall very fast and capacity will make leaps. If they don't stick it in, it opens the door to other companies to make much more capable boxes and have a generational leap over PS5 within a year or two of release.
