Sony made a blanket statement, price had nothing to do with it, statement was false... That is all there is to it, they deserve the criticism for it.

Oh wow, you actually know Sony's exact ssd solution. Tell us a little bit more since you know its speed. Tell us also how hot it gets while streaming and how fast it is after 10 minutes of streaming...

Sony is leveraging AMD's technology, from that it becomes extremely easy.

none of your explanations why you think this is a fact has been satisfactory

Sony certainly made a broad statement.
And my explanations have been more than satisfactory, if you would like me to elaborate on a specific point, I would be more than happy to oblige if need be.

Yet so far all PS has officially said is that it's using PCIe 4.0 and gave an example of how much faster it can be in one situation. You went on to guess at what that could mean in terms of what else may be part of the SSD setup, even though PS has said nothing about that. Is that adding extra relevant information based on separate knowledge of what SSD's are capable of, or is that also shifting goal posts?

I am taking issue with the statement Sony made. Nothing else.
So no, I am not shifting any goal posts.

As for the pricing I'm mostly just pointing out that you're not taking everything into account that you would need to based on separate console pricing knowledge. The price of the console will matter as to how they decide on what tech to use and how much they could customize it. If you don't base it off a likely price, then we might as well guess it'll be $1,000 and that could very well likely mean that the SSD could have customizations, and could be as fast as the fastest consumer PC's out there. Like you and I said though, that's not going to happen, and that's because the PS5 isn't going to be $1,000. Unless of course there is a top tier model that uses very similar tech, just beefed up like the rest of the components would be to justify the higher price.

We're both just putting separate relevant points forward from what I can see. 

Everything else is irrelevant and isn't what I am arguing for or against. - I am arguing against Sony's statement, not it's damn price.
