    ???

    Yes they’ve had slim versions of course, but their performance/feature mix has been the same (or even worse) than the original. I’m not sure why you’re bringing them up? That’s been a part of the industry for longer than Sony has- Sega had 3 models of the Genesis, Nintendo had the top-loading NES, etc.

    I’m also not sure what you’re referring to with the Apple marketing bandwagon. The word “Pro” has been used for consumer goods for decades. Off the top of my head I always think of Bass Pro shops. Apple is just one of many, many companies doing the same thing. And also that only applies to Playstation- Microsoft is using their X terminology. Although we will have to see if Microsoft decides to upgrade the Series X what the hell they’d call it (2x? XX?).

    My apologies if I come off as rude, but I’m genuinely trying to figure out what you’re talking about here.

      Traditionally, console makers like Sony and Microsoft often create a mid-cycle console refresh,

      Am I tripping or did this only happen once each? Was there some PS3 Pro or Xbox 360X that I missed?

      console makers have been releasing slim versions for years

      what the fuck are you even talking about?

      It’s a little early to be drinking, bud
