Another thing caught my eye while browsing today, and it's Eurogamer's analysis of gains if SSD is added to PS4:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-is-it-worth-upgrading-your-ps4-with-an-ssd
They've listed comparision tables for several games and in some cases the significant difference is definetly there, for example some game's I've never heard of area, Bloodborne - Central Yharnam, instead of 40 seconds with SSD loads in just 17 seconds!
But some other games, like fasttravel to Woesong Bridge in The Witcher 3 for example, from 46 seconds loading time gets only to 36 seconds.
What they conclude is that getting SSD in PS4 depends on games someone plays. I'd say that too - if we could see some data about each and every game out there. But as things stand now, I don't think this expensive upgrade is worth it on PS4.
Meanwhile on PC... SSD improves basically everything, while loadtimes in some games might be just as insignificant as seen on Eurogamer's comparision PS4 tables, PC owner gets faster OS, faster browsing and faster everything.
