Millions, but not because of the cost of the drive itself. But because Sony will get a bigger share of each game sale when it's digital straight from their own store instead of a physical copy from a third party retailer. Publishers also profit more from digital.

It won't be a slim, impossible to have a major die shrink.

@Random_Matt 
The heatsink/heatpipes and power supply are taking up most of the space.

By moving those to the outside, a guy on youtube made his own functional PS5 Slim.

Obviousy Sony have much greater leeway in this since they can redesigning components, but it's interesting to see how small you can technically make the current PS5 in concept, even if it's not very practical. 

Yeah, the heatsink was massive, but the Slim is very likely coming with an apu redesign, maybe even phasing out the liquid metal as well, that should be the major point of doing it.

And we would probably be getting rumors of that smaller apu already if that would be getting released in around 3 months from now.

I doubt we will see the Slim release this year, but who knows.

the PS5 internals have shrunk especially the heatsink the 1000 - 1100 and 1200 model with the latest 1200 being in the middle
