Have all the opinions you want. that's not my problem. Don't question my character or my motives though. That's taking it somewhere else.
And yes. The PS5 SSD would wipe the floor with the XSX SSD If we were talking about the console that had upwards of 24GB/32GB of RAM. That would mean like 28GB of data feeds to be sent. PS5 would do that in about 6 seconds, XSX would do that in about 12 seconds. That's a lot more obvious than what it is with them feeding 13.5GB of RAM.
You know what though...lets just agree to disagree.

The SSD isn't a replacement for RAM, including the SSD doesn't mean you have 24GB-32GB of "equivalent Ram".
The SSD just allows for more efficient use of RAM, it's the exact same situation the Nintendo 64 found itself in with it's inclusion of a super fast Cartridge... Which meant Developers didn't have to dump everything into RAM like the PS1, they could stream directly from the cart.
The Playstation 5 certainly has the advantage in this regard... But just like flops, it's really down to the developer on whether it will actually result in anything tangible.
What I find frustrating is that users are only focusing on the SSD which ultimately... Who gives a shit? What about 99% of the hardware that makes up the rest of the console?

I think you are misunderstanding what I was saying.
Never said the SSD is a replacement or RAM.
I was implying, that these next-gen consoles would realistically have to stream only like 5GB -8GB of data into RAM. Nowhere near the 13.5GB of available RAM in the XSX or whatever amount f RAMis going to be available in the PS5. Add that what I have been saying since I first mentioned the PS5s SSD advantage and why I said it wouldn't really make a substantial difference.
So my example f f these were 32GB of RAMconsoles, and 300GB games that we ere talking about, then, in that case, there would be an actual increase in data requirements and the stream heap would not just be like5GB but something like 25GB. So in a hypothetical situation like that, that's when you can actually see a meaningful difference between the PS5 SSD and the XSX SSD.
