This has got to be it. I really don't see why, or even how, they would try to put out an even slimmer OG PS4. I'm guessing a Pro closer to the size of the OG PS4, maybe lowering the power draw slightly. UHD isn't 100% necessary, as they are still niche, but it would still be a welcome addition. I mean, they're revising it, anyway, might as well.
I wonder if this is the reason they haven't worried about getting more stock of the Pro out. It's constantly selling out online, including Walmart and Amazon. Possibly they are working on a slimmer version to cut down production costs and they are having a soft relaunch closer to the holiday season at $299, with the Slim dropping to $199, and advertising focusing more on the Pro. I think that should be more than enough to combat the Scorpio. Especially if it's launching for $399+. Personally, I'm expecting it to launch for $449, so that $150 difference is going to be huge.

Jk. We all have different tastes.
OT: A slimmer PS4 Pro would be nice for me as I skipped the original Pro. Would be weird to make another PS4 Slim so soon. |
Sorry, but you shouldn't be j/k. If the PS4 has no games to offer someone, they are either a fanboy or are lying. Not saying that those games are enough to push you to drop $250-$300 on one, but it's not possible for there to be nothing for any gamer. Every genre is represented with at least 2-5 games of good/great quality.
