2023 was a record-setting year for the PlayStation 5. As the flagship console marked the third anniversary of its initially tumultuous release, it finally regained its footing to become one of the fastest- and best-selling consoles of, not just its generation, but of all time.
Further buoyed by the release of PS5 Slim and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 as well as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which traditionally has sold best on PlayStation, the so-called "Blue Team" ended the year on a high note.
But, while many believe that Sony intends to keep the hype train going at full speed by dropping a bombshell of a reveal soon, credible sources suggest that fans shouldn't expect for this to be about an upgraded console, especially at the Consumer Electronics Show.
Slated for January 10, Tom Henderson, expressed skepticism about Sony unveiling a new console a few days from now, roughly 9-10 months before its potential release. Henderson cited the console manufacturer's likely desire to maximize regular PS5 sales before introducing a Pro model. He suggested that an announcement might come no more than 45 days before the Pro's launch, leaning towards a late Q3 announcement.
