Even in the face of the semiconductor chip crisis, the Sony PS5 has remained very strong in the market for the past year. At this time, we still don't know when the PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro versions will see the light of day, but one designer has already presented us with what these devices will look like, and the result is very impressive.
The author of the concepts is the artist Jermaine Smith. He redesigned both versions of the console to be more rounded and with smaller edges compared to the original. The models are beautiful and already give an idea of ββwhat may appear in the future.
Some recent rumors about the alleged PS5 Pro say that it could be released in late 2023 and have an 8K resolution. In addition, the device is expected to cost between $600 and $700. Which is much more than the price of the base model.
The PlayStation 5 has celebrated its first anniversary, but is still perceived as a brand new console. Due to the crisis in the semiconductor industry, Sony had serious problems trying to sell consoles in stores. Consoles are available for a short time and run out quickly. Quantities are limited and even resellers can buy units and resell them at double the price.
According to the latest reports, the situation with the PS5 will not return to normal until the end of 2022. This is about the time the industry will see some relief in supply chains.
The PS5 Pro may cause some controversy
Due to the "difficult start", many believe that it is still too early for the PlayStation 5 Slim or PlayStation 5 Pro. The latter option may cause even more controversy. After all, isn't the PS5 strong enough? Why is Sony preparing a new Pro variant? The fact is that the Japanese firm set the standard for the PS4 series by releasing Slim and Pro versions together. We have good reason to believe that the company will also introduce a Pro version for PS5. The Slim is more than expected as it's a long standing tradition for the PlayStation series and the PS5 seriously needs a smaller version.
According to the latest rumors, Sony is already working on the PS5 Pro. If the rumors are true, we can expect it in 2023-2024.
