I can't wait for the first Digital Foundry face off between PS6 and Xbox 'next'. Lol. 4k120 with full RT on the $499 PS6, and 4k120 with full RT for +$999 on the Xbox unless you plug into a high refresh rate monitor or buy a brand new HDMI 2,2 screen which may go up to 240Hz .. but the difference in input lag from 120 to 240 is like 2ms which is only something that you would notice with mouse and keyboard. And the fact that frame gen exists PS6 will likely be able to hit 240fps as well. The key to next gen is going to be a beefier CPU, a ton of cache and RAM, AI/ML, RT... And it people don't think Cerny hasn't vastly improved the I/O SSD with even more levels of priority. I can see PS6's internal SSD having some custom AI functions and being PCIe Gen 6 hitting 30-50GB/s in raw read and any SSD expansion will only be able to store PS6 games but will play PS4/5. When you want to play a PS6 game you will need to transfer it, which will literally take seconds. I think the SSD will be able to act like RAM
