"we are partnering with AT&T for all of your 4g needs so you can play the PlayStation 5 anywhere"
That would be counter intuitive, considering AT&T certainly doesn't operate most places.
If they're using SSDs there's either going to be a hard disk in there as well or they're going to have no space - alternatively consoles are going to be even more expensive for a 1 TB SSD.
The cheapest 1 TB SSD I can find is this unknown brand one at $88

Meanwhile this Toshiba HDD is $44 and it's a known brand

Pretty sure the Vita worked with any 4G network?
They'll probably use an hybrid drive.

How can I activate my 3G data service on my PS Vita?
Activating the 3G data service doesn’t require going to an AT&T
store or even being at a computer. From right on the PS Vita’s home
screen, touch the icon entitled “Network Operator” to launch into the
process.
Yeah, probably like a fast 64-128 gb cache drive combined with a harddrive or sata SSD depending on the price tier.
IIRC, Mark Cerny did mention that the speeds would be beyond anything on the market today.
Not sure if that'll be exactly true, but it should mean something very high performance.
They might also do some pre-loading when you're in menus
The faster CPU is gonna help a lot with decompression too.
And speaking of CPUs, Nintendo did something clever on the Switch recently to improve load times in BOTW and Odyssey. The GPU doesn't produce much heat during loading, which gives the CPU a ton of thermal headroom, so those games can now increase CPU clocks by 75% while loading to speed up decompression.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sony is allowing for more dynamic clock speeds to make this possible.
Here's a video going in to the difference it makes:

"Without disconnections" gives me serious cloud gaming vibes, in which case they can royally fuck themselves.
AT&T is probably the best provider in the US, at least for coverage.
I remember when we had at&t it was the fucking pits, no service anywhere .
the joke of the post mentioning ATT was the fact that they announced the vita 3G as an ATT exclusive
if only sony knew of a company who's been in the storage business for decades and could engineer a cost effective solution...
PS4 already does cloud gaming in the form of Playstation Now, I don't see why they'd make it a big deal for PS5.
I highly doubt they'll use an SSHD unless they can provide manual prefetch on it. A console is one of the most ideal environments to know which data will be needed (soon), and throwing that away would be idiotic.
Not in most of the world
Network Operator is just an APN setting. Never had to use it I think, even though I had a sim in mine at some point.
Modem's long since disconnected, as well as the bandwave the vita connects to has been shutoff for a while
PSNow is an optional service, if the PS5 is an entire console based around cloud gaming it's a completely different story
It won't be. But I'm sure they'll push for it anyways.
On a semi-related, thread-derailing note: for every PlayStation console, there's been a specific design quirk that persists throughout all its models.
The PS1 had a bunch of circular elements. Also that gray color scheme that made it look like a piece of audio equipment.
The PS2 had those ridges on the front and was completely orthogonal and rectangular.
The PS3 had the curved top panel that earned it the nickname of the George Foreman grill.
The PS4 is a big slanty-boy. Even though the OG had a more polygonal look to the matte, rounded-cornered Slim and Pro.
I've got my money on chamfered corners or at least lots of 45° angles in general on the PS5. Second-most likely: triangles everywhere.
Just a hunch.
they're gonna go the Intel route and turn it into a dodecahedron

Now you've just given me flashbacks of all the unrealistic mid-2000s renders of what the "Xbox 2" or whatever was gonna look like.
Y'know, the ones where the machine is shaped like some unnatural future orb thing but somehow could still fit a CD inside it, and has stuff like holograms beaming out of it or the controller having four handles and a miniature mouse on top or something.
It probably says something about consumer faith that I read a slogan like that and it just gives me the impression of "Product, but now with less product and more lies!"
Who are these people and why are they all so terrible at design

probably someone doing their first project in a 3D modeling class
The early 2000's were weird.

these always crack me up, I have no idea how they ever begin to exist
