Sony's Old models Have Been Discounted By 100 Euros for Clearance Sale.
On July 5th, 2023, according to the news from Fast Technology, Sony's PS5 sales are estimated to have exceeded 40 million units (38.4 million units at the end of April), and it has reached the middle stage of its lifespan. It was no longer out of stock at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, causing scalpers who hoarded the console to lose money. Recently, it has started to reduce its price.
Players have reported that Sony has recently started to discount the PS5 optical drive version in several European countries, such as the UK, Spain, Portugal, France, and Romania, which is 100 euros cheaper than before.
The Probability of Releasing The PS5 Pro with Significant Hardware Upgrades This Year Is Zero.
Sony did not explain the reason for the price reduction promotion, but it is not difficult to guess that it is because a brand new PS5 console series is coming out this year. Previously, people were looking forward to the PS5 Pro with significant hardware upgrades, but the possibility of it being released this year is almost zero.
It Is More Likely That The PS5 Slim Will Be Released in September.
Microsoft previously confirmed the existence of the PS5 Slim in its testimony to Sony. Compared with the existing PS5, the hardware performance of the PS5 Slim will not change significantly, but its appearance will be redesigned, and it is highly likely that the optical drive will be removed. In addition, the internal PCB and circuitry will also be improved, making it lighter and thinner with reduced power consumption. The previously criticized cooling performance is expected to be greatly improved.

Although the performance may not be significantly improved, the improvements in heat dissipation and power consumption should make gaming more stable. If the price remains the same, it is still worth looking forward to.
