• Some new form of even faster SSD (Faster than PCIEx4 currently on PC's apparently!).
• Current PSVR will be forward and backward compatible. New PSVR also being worked on.
• Backwards Compatiblity with PS4 is in. Spiderman and Red Dead demoed with ultra fast loading times (from 15 to 0.8 seconds for Spiderman).
• Ray Tracing will also be used for audio. New revolutionary 3d Audio chip.
• 8K output capable.
• Possibility of cross gen titles. Death Stranding mentioned as a possiblity. (Gran Turismo 7 has also been hinted outside of this article).

At least we'll be able to trade in our PS4's to offset some of the cost!

Unlucky, @Choze. We've already got a thread for this in Other Consoles, complete with a misleading clickbait title! You can find it here.

I'll lock this one, so we can carry on the discussion in the other thread.
