I'm willing to be proven wrong, but I don't think we're getting the PS5 Slim in Q3 or Q4 2023. The PS5 has only been a lot easier to get since Q4 2022 in a lot of regions thanks to being a few years on the market and an increased price with the GOW bundle.
Why would Sony scale down the form factor significantly (eating away at profits and potentially revenue) in 2023 considering the widespread supply chain shortages that have affected the PS5? I see Q2 2024 as the earliest a Slim could come out. Even then, Q3/Q4 2024 is way more likely.
