PS5 Pro Likeliness Questioned, Insider Has Heard More about PS6 Than a Mid-Gen Update - Wccftech

While the PlayStation 5 really feels like it’s just starting to get up to speed in the wake of lingering supply issues and crossgen development, the console is already over two years old.

Well, according to tweet thread from insider Tom Henderson, who has had the goods when it comes to Sony hardware multiple times in the past, a PS5 Pro seems like an unlikely prospect.

While Henderson doesn’t come right out and say a mid-gen PS5 update isn’t going to happen, he claims he’s actually heard more about the PlayStation 6 than any sort of PS5 Pro.

Henderson further explains that he believes Sony is aiming to reduce the number of PS5 models in order to ease production costs and complications.

Releasing a “Pro” console may have been a good business move in the past, but in this era of silicon and component shortages, it no longer makes a lot of sense.

Or is Sony better served focusing on getting maximum performance out of the current PS5 and continuing to streamline production so they can make sure they’re a common sight on store shelves?
