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.

Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
TCL Technology have said that a new Xbox Series S/X and PS5 Pro are coming in 2023/2024
- Thread starter HeisenbergFX4
- Start date
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.

We need a new Series S? Just do a slim and pro of Series X. Same with PS5

We already got the Series S redesign. So who knows? This leak is old and we got better leaks since.

But the leak comes from the communications between TCL and Xbox
And the Xbox internal leak confirms that
But is the new 1to S the real refresh ?

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.WiFi 6 and same 299 price with 1Tb, so current black one is just a price increase

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

It's like MS wants to lose at this point.

They will still have to have different specs if you want that same low price the xss provides

I doubt we see that round refresh though they might still use that form for the next boxWiFi 6 and same 299 price with 1Tb, so current black one is just a price increase

Pricing will be interesting as some are thinking they will launch dual consoles again but not at exactly the same time
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.
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.
