Forums - Sony Discussion - Taiwan’s Newspaper Claims Sony is Working on a “Thinner” PS4

 

An article in Taiwan’s DigiTimes newspaper, which focuses on electronics and the region’s IT industry, has given birth to speculations of Sony working on yet another revision of the PlayStation 4. An article penned by Aaron Lee and Joseph Tsai this past Friday focuses on Nintendo Switch sales and makes the following statement along the way:

Microsoft is also planning to release a new Xbox game console codenamed Project Scorpio and the product is expected to be announced at the E3 2017 event, targeting the year-end holiday season. Sony is expected to release a thinner version of its PlayStation 4.

We’re not sure if DigiTimes is speculating something itself or if this is based on a report it received but interesting statement nonetheless. Considering the PS3 had several revisions itself, we won’t be too surprised if this is true but whether the report applies to PS4 Slim or Pro can only be guessed at the moment.

We’ll update our readers when we have more info.

Why wouldn't Sony be working on another PS4 model? It's not like they can't make money from a PS4 ultraslim or a PS4Pro Slim (or even a PS4Portable if they somehow managet to do that). Thus, they can either drop the original model's price even more or discontinue it in favour of the newer revisions.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

PS4 Pro slim with UHD drive to compete in the holiday against Scorpio, makes perfect sense.
God of War and Gran Turismo will push some sales for sure, smaller APU will also reduce production costs

This is probably a PS4pro Slim right? they found some way to cut costs abit, and have made a slimmer PS4pro?

So that when Xbox Scorpio launches, they ll be up against a "new" PS4pro Slim, thats even cheaper, than current PS4pro's are.

It be kind of dumb if they made another slim, for the base ps4, and not the pro.



its probably ps4 slim. and ps4 mini.

The last ARM conference stated that mobile chips will be at PS4 graphics levels by the end of 2017. The Nintendo Switch will destroy Sony in Japan. Sony's answer will be a portable PS4 similar to the Switch. It will be known as the Sony Swap. Yes, I just made most of that up.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

Switch FC: SW-0398-8858-1969

Hopefully if it's a slim Pro they can rethink the cooling system so it doesn't sound like a hair dryer.
