So far we seen CGI-Q make predictions and I got a pretty good idea of Pemalites prediction based on his comments here and previous ones, I hope others will make some predictions so we can see who wins. After GDC 2019 we will likely get a better clue what we can expect from next-gen consoles and hopefully leaks shortly after.

Is an SSD really a possibility?  Seems like something that most consumers wouldn't care as much about or give that much better performance considering the cost involved?  Considering how much more the box would cost to produce they would really be taking a hit either in the performance of more important parts for graphics or be taking a hit in price.  Over millions of units it saves a lot while really not sacrificing much performance.  Also isn't that the same amount of RAM as the XboxX (better type I know) while this machine is supposed to last through 2026 at least?  I know it's $100 cheaper than the X currently but that still would be short sighted to me.  I recall Sony doubling the RAM in PS4 shortly before they announced it from 4 to 8 and that was a huge increase over PS3
