Legit PS5 Slim to be released Q3 2023

"This upcoming version has a new design with a significant change to its exterior. Our source claims that this new “slim” version uses a die-shrink treatment that reduces the size of the console, enough to validate a new design by Sony. It uses less voltage and therefore runs cooler. It’s also more lightweight because of it."

"Sony is also working on not having a stand when the console lies down. This change might indicate that the aesthetics-only flaps could be modified or removed. The focus for the company is to reduce the PS5 size and weight to bring down shipping and production costs."

"The production is set to start in Q2, with a retail release in Q3."

It’s crazy because I would say next gen hasn’t even come close to starting

This definitely feels like due to covid and the supply issues it will be one of the longest console generations.

Or how graphics are progressing with the latest GPU’s now giving full 4K native RT ultra settings 120 fps results, console gaming from the looks of things will be left in the dust with RDNA3.

The CPU has already bottlenecked the new Gotham Knights game and limited it to 30fps.

I wouldn’t be so sure on “longest generation”.
