I was looking for something witty to say but I've got nothing but this gif.
 
I’m a sucker for accents and girls with glasses and pixie haircuts...I know the Brit lady also host other game related events, like the gran torismo races.
 
Jason Schreier, gaming journalist from kotaku and well know industry insider with official sources, said the following in the next gen consoles thread on resetera forum.

So after that , I wonder if there is some reality to this rumor from before?

I'm sure the CPU/GPU are close to true but I still don't believe an SSD, especially that type which is more expensive will make it into a console unless MS is willing to take a big loss up front again.

They could just do a small one for immediate game stuff and a regular HD for everything else?

The rumor has them doing a large one which just seems insane when it comes to cost and I don't know how much of a benefit you'd really see.

Sorry to quote a second time but wouldn't they need at least a 250GB SSD? those are currently around $80 plus which is about twice the price of the HDD in the One X. If they had to add that AND another large HDD for storage that just seems like a ton of money for something that's probably better spent on more memory or something.

NVM SSD I highly doubt for price cost and the real main reason:

Heat.

NVM ssd's get extremely hot and are notorious for running hot and seeing performance dips, to the point where a lot of MB manufacturers offer heat sinks in their nicer models.

That's another strike against it than. I just don't see the point, I don't know what benefit we'd really see. I have an external SSD hooked up to my Pro and while it offers a little bit of extra speed it's not something I'd want to go into a console of it meant sacrificing storage space or making them put so much money in that one area that things like RAM and other vital things end up having to be scaled back because of it.
