October 2022.
Though PS5s are still limited and people still have kind a hard time getting one(and holidays are coming up, plus MW2 and GoW so it'll get tougher), you still can't walk into a store and just buy one two years later..
Let's go ahead and make a Pro system and spend production on that. Wat?
I wouldn't have expected a Pro version of either system until 2024 if they did one, if I'm honest.
What kind of power bump would it realistically have? I guess better capabilities for Raytracing and more native 4k/60?
Which... I'm not that tech savvy, but doesn't that on PC still require a pretty powerful rig for newer games?

Microsoft midgen refresh will be a VR variant.
I'll bet my account in it.

Fingers crossed the new PS5 is less comparable in size to a Kaiju.

I bloody hope so im a console guy but Plague Tale R and Gotham Knights both being locked into 30fps modes doesn’t look good and I’d happily pay up to 1k for a 4k60 machine.
Don’t make me get a gaming PC please!

What the fuck is the point if these idiots are still making cross gen bullshit? How about you push the current hardware first. Not a single real next gen game released yet and you want me to go buy a new toy?

Assuming the random leaker is right, I'm all in for a PS5.5

That's kind of where I'm sitting. I don't feel there has been a single game released yet that really utilizes the full power of the regular PS5 or XSX--the former due to cross-gen, the latter due to Series S.
I feel the PS5 has far more power under that hood, same as Series X, but nothing has really pushed it.

all i want is a PS5 that isn't fucking HUGE and ugly! we've seen Sony cut down the motherboard size so we know they can go smaller and that the cooling system is ridiculously overkill. they could make the PS5 a lot smaller.
i still expect it still to have stupid curves all over it but hopefully it's not as silly looking.

I highly doubt it.
We had no news from any studio and companies will continue releasing crossgen games for at least another year more. A ton of people is still transitioning, many players couldn't get a new console and devs are still making their engines to take advantage of what the new gen can offer. They don't have enough chips for next gen consoles so would have even more issues if add a different console on top to make.
I think it's complete bullshit.

If this is at all true, which I doubt, they're still at least 2 years out.

No significant amount of work has been done w/ the current iterations. If anything, the new consoles have just been a mid-gen upgrade of the last mid-gen upgrade....primarily res and fps upgrades.... If true, a waste of time and resources if you ask me.
But a las, i guess im not the market for these...i rocked my OG launch PS4 the entire gen.

I hope the future midgen refresh consoles come with bigger storage, maybe a 2tb model would be super nice

If they bring out a PS5pro sure I'll double dip, the boy will get my current PS5 and his PS4 Pro can be relegated to the attic

I don’t need an upgrade for my Series X but since my budget for a PS5 is laying around since release, I wouldn’t mind a smaller, more mature looking PS5.5 for a reasonable higher price.

Lmao...I won't even bother this time. Just gonna go pure PC.
Not one game has pushed the cerny power of the ps5 and they are gonna replace it lmao. Gtfoh.

Makes zero sense so I'm hoping it's bs. Ps5 has been really underwhelming so far this gen. Since I started gaming again when ps3 came out this had been the most disappointing Sony console I've had.
The time for using covid as an excuse are over. Enough with cross gen. Horizon suffered and I'm guessing gow will too.
Sony wants to ship more current and revised ps5 in the next year then they have sold in its lifetime so far. I doubt there's a pro model when devs aren't even using a fraction of the machines power.

No reason you couldn't get both. PS4 slim was announced with PS4 Pro. It's too early for a midgen refresh though.

Well the consoles are already showing their age. I want upgraded consoles with much more graphics horsepower, especially RT power.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It made a lot of sense in the PS4 gen cause 4K adaption skyrotted between when the PS4 gen started and when the need for those consoles arose.
Right now, in this gen, having mid gen consoles makes very little sense,

Does it even matter anymore? All games nowadays are built on cross-platform game engines that scale all the way from smartphones to high end PCs.
The days of games being optimized to the nines for one unique piece of hardware are over.
