PS5 Pro - 2024?

Wow, it doesn't seem like the true power of the PS5 has been tapped yet and there's already talk of a mid-gen upgrade. Given supply issues with vanilla PS5 it'll be a challenge to get enough consoles on shelves. I mean, anyone in the market for a PS5 is most likely to wait for a PS5 Pro if its announced. So yeah, if this is indeed a thing then prepare for tough times getting one.

Of course, even though I have a PS5 I'd jump on a PS5 Pro. :hehe:

He's claiming late 2024-early 2025.

Sony is shipping 30 million PS5's in 2023 so everyone who wants one should be able to get one.

I plan on selling mine when the Pro preorders go up.
I'll take my nvme drive with me.

Hopefully I can still get a good amount for it.

Same. Going straight for the Pro and selling my OG like last gen.

I still believe that devs haven’t touched like 50% of what the current consoles can do. No first party dev since launch has made one and it takes at least two…one to familiarize and the second to develop upon what they learn and optimize and push beyond those foundations

I agree, and I thought since last gen is holding current gen back a power increase would do nothing since as you said they still haven't tapped the power that's currently available.

So adding 2,3 or 50 GPU(s) won't let gamers see any difference unless devs abandon last gen or get creative in some way.

Current gen would also hold back mid-gen refreshes.
 

Yeah, I can’t see mid gen upgrades for either….mid gen update, yes, refresh, maybe not. They can switch to smaller chips, once they’re allocated contracts are up. I could see them with smaller chips and the same chassis, save money with no extra r&d or having to change things up with suppliers/assembly.

Last time we had a mid-gen upgrade, the launch consoles were comically under-powered. Remember we had games at 640 and 720p while 1080 was standard. Now? These consoles are more than enough for most gamers. The people who want 120 fps and crazy visuals will go PC anyway.
 
There is no way a PS5 Pro is coming in 2024. Sony or 3rd party have barely made games for the current PS5. They had 2 years of big supply issues. Just had their biggest unit selling year ever.

What is the PS5 and XSX pro versions even going to have as a selling point?

Stable frame rates at 1080p, 30fps 720 with RT
