but flash storage is cheap as shyt now, but is it cheaper than optical discs? I don't see that.

Probably not cheaper...

But this means they could eliminate the hard drive and use cloud storage for everything, saving some costs there. As well as keeping the console smaller and with lower power requirements.

It might be close overall.

How is this possible with the way DLC is distributed now? You're saying the DLC will be in the cloud?

Nah. DLC would be downloaded to the cartridge. Think of it as a cheap, relatively small SSD.

Exactly. It would be like every game having/being a dedicated SSD

Wastin space on the hard drive

all ur physical games will have to be downloaded to the hdd anyway so theres literally no space wasted and u have the convenience of not having to constantly pop disc in

in VR thats a deal breaker
