This may be some sort of clearance sale in order to make way for the possible arrival of a Slim and/or Pro version of the console.>

More rumours about ps5 pro and possible release year of ps6 in 2028 thanks to Microsoft https://www.pocket-lint.com/microsoft-thinks-it-knows-the-ps6s-release-date/

Most likely the case. I’m not convinced a pro is coming though, a slim definitely, but not a pro. It’s just not needed.

Don't put needless spending past gamers lol. Even if it's not needed, you'll get players who buy the latest and greatest just for bragging rights.

That’s true. It didn’t get to be a multibillion dollar industry due to our frugalness.

I don't know if a pro isn't needed, I don't own a ps5. Futhermore I have a huge backlog for the PS4 (and switch).

I still think I need a ps5 (pro)...

Xbox (not sure if PlayStation has or not) just officially dropped support for last gen and all development moved to current gen. Three years into the generation. They haven’t even gotten to see what the current systems can do yet so I don’t think pro models are needed. That doesn’t mean that they won’t do it though but it does show us all that we might as well ride out our last gen systems until the pro models drop going forward if they go this route.
