So hypothetically, if MS releases a pro console, how do people think they will arrange that?

3 consoles where there is a Series S, Series X, and a Series X2 or something?

2 consoles where Series X becomes the Series S, Series X2 becomes the new Series X?

2 consoles where Series X2 becomes the new Series X, and Series S2 becomes the new Series S?

Some inconceivable fourth way?

Hope they don't, Lol. But they obviously will both do one (Xbox & Sony).

I'm so "meh" about a Pro console for this generation at this stage and I find the rumour of a 2024 "Pro" console a bit annoying, Lol.

Feels like this generation has barely started thanks to the Pandemic and we've not even left last gen yet 3 years into the new gen, I can probably name all the major PS5/Xbox Series/PC only titles with two hands. These consoles have nowhere near had the most pulled out of them and we're already talking about a Pro console.

Really don't see the point...Last generation it made sense because consoles had an awful CPU bottleneck but this generation both consoles are very powerful, well built and well rounded devices with no major bottlenecks that I know of, aside from how demanding RTX may be but who cares, Lol. So I've got zero excitement for a "Pro" right now and the worst part is I'll still end up buying one because I'd feel like my Series X just became a weak console, Lol.

The pro consoles didn't do much for the CPU for either console. The far bigger jump was GPU performance. 

It was mostly because they wanted to push 4K. I kind of doubt they would want to push "8K" consoles. But maybe they would want consoles that are more reliably 4K60.  

Totally agree with you, it feels like the gen has barely started. But I feel like neither Sony or MS would want to get left behind if the other one were to make a pro console...
