I think I'll take the words of the several respected game developers who say otherwise.  

Fine the-pi-guy. It's a big deal to developers that consoles have been delaying their ability to push late technologies because it's a big bottleneck.

Is that better?

The SSD in the PS5 isn’t the same identical tech as the SSDs you’ve been using in your PC.

it’s like saying “The Ford Mustang is old tech! Cars have been around forever now! I’ve been using my Model T for years! About time you youngsters catch up!”

The amount of tech that went on during the years separating the models and the tech that will make future cars more efficient didn’t stop at “here’s a piston engine"...
