TCL Technology have said that a new Xbox Series S/X and PS5 Pro are coming in 2023/2024

TCL. I dont think this is confirmation of anything, only forming a pattern from previous consoles and using that to guess the future.

Anyone know what the image is actually for?
Are they just trying to push new tvs and using the potential new consoles to back up their plans?

I think its purely guess work.
Why would TCL know anything about the inner workings at Sony and Microsoft?
It is all guess work. To push 8K tvs which is what all LCD tv makers seem to be doing. When you look at the big picture its seems very unlikely pro models are coming any time soon if at all.

Still can't find a lot of tech normally though

Guess they better not make the 4000 series video cards until every single person has a 3080

Or not make any model year 2023 vehicles because car lots are currently cleared out

Companies are not going to stop moving forward because chip makers are running behind

Ybarra always told me Xbox was always thinking to the next console I am sure Sony will do the same
Those aren't low margin products designed to get you into an ecosystem though. Cars are limited by supply but they will not spend for more chips in cars on another model. So if anything they will try and reduce their reliance on those materials so as to improve supply. They won't decide to add even more silicon just because.

Unless Sony or MS want to sell a pro at significantly above PS5 and Series X cost they won't do it. The ONLY way I see it happening are two ways
a) MS or Sony decide to sell a pro at much higher cost as a way to make consoles sell for profit and combat scalpers/high demand. $800 pro instead of an $800 retailer bundle.
b) MS or Sony get "free" upgrades from their suppliers. eg say they manufacture memory that has improved in performance from the supplier and they don't offer the old lower spec at an even lower cost anymore.

I’m sure Sony/MS have new consoles in the works, but they haven’t satisfied demand for the base models yet, so I’m not so sure about this…. 2024 maybe. Not to mention the chip shortages.

The FTC leak got us the new controller. So the real refresh should probably have it.
WiFi 6 and same 299 price with 1Tb, so current black one is just a price increase

I think that the 350$ Series S is still on 7 nm so probably. But if they have to wait for the rumored early next gen for the new controller it will be hard to make it mandatory for this gen. At least we can be sure that if there is a refresh it will happen before GTA 6 launch.

They could release the controller for current gen to get some money from the current users but don't include it into the refresh, then release next gen with the controller included

Phone reception is more important to me than human rights
This confirms no pro from xbox just a redesign
Yeah, seeing this slide its clear it was just info about the PS5 Pro.

Of course we now know the rumors about MS's own mid gen refresh or next gen console.

Pricing will be interesting as some are thinking they will launch dual consoles again but not at exactly the same time
So instead of a mid gen refresh at launch (still mind boggling someone at MS thought that of the XSX....) it will be mid gen refresh again...but before mid gen.

MS really needs to get the specs right for the other console this time. Before this gen started the Series S seemed like a genius move to some. Turns out making the same console just minus a disc drive was the genius move.
