I was wondering, games for the current consoles are being presented as being able to create a whole new experience of gaming because of ssd, but ssd has been on pcs for a long time and there was no such a thing as new way to experience games besides short screen loading times. While on consoles, ratchet and clank introduce new dimensions, ff XVI shows different phases of combat and more, and other games also show all kind of new experiences because of the ssd

marketing is part of the answer

Layman’s guess, The other is SSD is now standard in the consoles so games are being developed with that in mind, ie quicker load times allowing for a more seamless experience, PC’s have had this for some time but again you cant rely on the whole PC market having the SSDs so probably wont design your game to be SSD only else you’d cut a good portion of the market. but for Playstation and Xbox are designing games specifically for SSD now as that’s the only configuration they have to cater to.
