No they don't. The additional ddr3 is not connected to the APU, it is connected to a secondary ARM-type chip that supports some bachground/sleep mode tasks with its lonely ddr3 memory chip. There is no ddr3 interface in the APU, obviously there is an APU/ARM connection somewhere.

OK... so you are aying its impossible to have an APU that uses two seperate pools of different types of Ram?

While I can't say consoles don't offer limitations to some degree, they are by far, not the only reason why. A games model, budget and timeline factor in, along with it's individual devs themselves. Then you also have what people can afford and what they simply want to pay, not to mention how greedy the software publishers are or are not. That's just a start. Having nothing but the best devs with unlimited freedom and budgets, as well as all willing consumers always having the latest and greatest gaming tech would be awesome, but that in itself doesn't actually fit the console model, and that model exists for good reason, unfortunately.

Consoles are like a beach. PC's are mountains, and mobile is the Mariana Trench, in terms of hardware anyway.

It will be AMD Zen2 with 16GB GDDR6 and Vega Graphics. I would also like to see at least 128GB M.2 standard with slot for 2.5" HDD for expansion. I doubt that will happen due to price but it would be nice. I am betting it will be 802.11A/C, HDMI 2.1 and probably have 4K Blu-Ray support.

Price will stay at $399 May go to $499 but I doubt it.

Aside from maybe the PSP 2000 where they increased the amount of memory and some games made use of it! 

Ignore him and don't take him too seriously, he strikes me as a person with lot's of extreme prejudices ...

Their opinion was the minority as shown in last gen when the Wii won with the LEAST amount of multimedia functionality ... 

The fact that most of the PS3 games ran worse in comparison to the 360 means it was questionable if BC itself was a worthwhile endeavor especially in PS4's case where it could've ran PS3 games SLOWER than the original hardware itself ... 

When a great portion of PS4's userbase were new or returning PS users, that there was a market for remastering games and the technical benefits that come with it being that PS4 itself was a massive leap over the PS3 in performance it became much clearer to them in which direction they were headed to delivering older content ... (I don't think it would've been all that ideal to emulate what were technically inferior versions of games and then obtain even worse performance)

This will cost $899.99 in 2021

if they do that it will actually cost them less soldering the nand flash chips directly onto the MB of the console.No need having two seperate storage interfaces. So they couls very well solder 240GB of nand flash onto the board connected via a PCIe link to the APU as a foem of game cache and still ship the console with a 1TB HDD. Right now a 240GB SSD is as low as $62 and a 1TB HDD is as low as $50 at retail. Obvioisly prices for sony would be significantly lower. Especially by 2020. But lookibg at those prices then its possible to have a a solution like that for a toral of under $45. 

On the other hand, they could just go the exclusive M.2 route..... But right now the cheapest you can get a 500GB M.2 ssd at retail is around $139. Its a long ways to go before we can comfortably say sony can get 1TB of that for under $50.

Well. The PSP 2000 wasn't the overhaul that the Playstation 4 Pro or Xbox One X was.

Heck, even Nintendo increased the clocks on it's chips, sprinkled more DRAM in it's iterative handhelds with the New 3DS and DSi lines.

Regardless if they were the minority or not, the functionality is important to some. :)
If you can add such functionality without increasing costs, then why not? Win/win for us consumers.

Well. That depends on how they approach backwards compatibility of course.
Microsoft's mixed approach has shown it to offer some pretty interesting results when all is said and done.

But Microsoft did retain some backwards compatibility natively in hardware, leveraged virtualization, repacked games and so on, so Microsoft likely had this planned from the very start.

Many Backwards Compatible Xbox 360 games actually got improved with better texture filtering, framerates, frame pacing and in some instances even resolution.
So there is some advantages to backwards compatibility when done right that can negate where the Playstation 3 fell short to some degree.

For the most part though, unless you have a massive invested library (I have several hundred Xbox 360 and several hundred Original Xbox games) then Backwards compatibility is of limited value anyway.
And to be fair... I haven't played a single backwards compatible game from optical Disk yet, But I do rather enjoy seeing my Xbox 360 digital library popping up on my Xbox One X console over time though, now I just need Microsoft to hurry up with that 1440P update.

That's right.
