Interesting seeing as how the lionshare of the hate comes FROM Trump. I digress though, not going to steer this off topic. 

Only allowed partial installs, perhaps you don't even get 1TB.

The launch period is in line with overall expectations. I wonder what remake Bluepoint is working on.

Wrong. The Xbox 360 Arcade came out almost an entire year after the Ps3 had already released. 

As for the rest, yes, more to my point - Which in case your forgot - Is that the ps3 was overpriced and had no exclusives/lineup to speak of at launch. 2 things I hope the PS5 avoids. 

The one thing i ABSOLUTELY want for the PS5 is for complete backwards compatibility, and what i mean by this is that aside from being able to play my physical games (like the PS2 and early versions of the PS3 could) it can also grant me access to my digital games on the PS store so i can download them and play them on my PS5, i really want this because over 60% of my library of games is now digital).

And yes i know that BC has already been anounced for the PS5 months ago if im not wrong, but im not sure if it includes digital games as well.

I like this timeframe. I doubt Nintendo will release a revision next year, so Sony could totally annihilate at the launch. Yet being 3.5 years (I think?) After Switch launch they aren't really hurting their competition. I think if Microsoft/Sony release their devices three years or so after Nintendo's hybrid device that would be the healthiest timing for the industry in terms of hardware sales. If they had released the ps5 earlier it would have hurt Switch sales and if they released it in 2021 or 2022 they would be too close to Switch 2 launch, which would have hurt Ps5 sales. Holiday 2020 is perfect for the industry as a whole, smart thinking Sony! Let's see what Microsoft does.

Interesting they announced it out of the blue. I've heard others mention it's odd they did this right after the State of Play.

All that said, it's moot until there are games to show. Once we see those we can get a better idea on what the PS5 is and how well it will do.

Well PS4 and it's SATA II and 5400RPM HDD weren't exactly bleeding edge in 2013, so. Even Pro and it's SATA III came with a 5400RPM drive.

While they still have much to announce, as of right now, it almost sounds as if they want to get away from HDD's altogether. Partial game installs seems logical in general, yet they didn't do it with PS4, and I don't see why they couldn't have. PS4 with it's single 500GB launch model, could have certainly used this feature.

If they are going SSD only, then they almost have to be swappable, so that's not all that big a deal then. Other than the fact that if they are custom like has been mentioned already, then you'll probably have no choice but to get a larger PS branded SSD, which will cost more, most likely.

This could mean two launch models though. Maybe $499 for the 500GB SSD and $549 for the 1000GB SSD?

Yup... thats not twisting the facts at all.

And thats how misinformation spreads. Don't listen to him.

They aren't "only allowing partial installs"... Partial installs is an optional feature. So you don't have to wait for your whole game to install before you start playing it or even better so you don't have to keep components of a game you aren't playing anymore on your SSD. Its just more granular management. And its good considering a game will take up like 50-100GB. 

And not a chance in hell that a 500GB SKU is an option. Especially when you consider that in 2020 a 1TB SSD will cost them about as much as they paid for a 500GB HDD in 2013.

They also said they are finally making your game.
