Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, January 24, according to various sources, Sony will release an improved model of the PlayStation 5 game console in April this year, with a downsized console mold with a removable optical drive.

Recently, however, whistleblower Abhishek Yadav quoted an unnamed source as saying that Sony will launch a new PS5 Pro as early as April 2023, which is at odds with previous revelations.

This morning, Tom Henderson, a reliable whistleblower in the game industry, released a number of messages expressing doubts about PS5 Pro, believing that the new machine will not be the Pro or Slim version, but the "gen 2" version of PS5.

Tom Henderson said he believes Sony's goal is to reduce the number of PS5 models in order to reduce production costs and complexity. Releasing the Pro mainframe may have been a good business move in the past, but it doesn't make much sense in this era of chip and component shortages.

In addition, his sources don't hear much from PS5 Pro, and even PS6 has more messages than PS5 Pro.

CTOnews.com previously reported that the Leak sources said that the appearance of the new Playstation 5, which will be launched next year, has undergone a major change. The new "ultra-thin" version reduces the size of the game console mold and uses less voltage, so it runs at lower temperatures and is lighter.

In addition, sources say Sony is committed to not requiring bracket support when the console is laid flat, a change that could indicate that the new Playstation 5 will abandon its current streamlined design. The company's focus is on reducing the size and weight of the Playstation 5 to reduce transportation and production costs.
