To be fair, the $400 discless version is readily available in the USA and the $560 Ragnarok bundle is $510. It will be interesting to see how low a discless + PSVR2 combo will go by the end of the year.

They may be alluding to this part?
Change in Fiscal Year G&NS Revenue : Operating income YoY
- +864.177 billion Yen (+32.3%) : -96.083 billion Yen (-27.8%)
- +388.809 billion Yen (+60.1%) : -48.391 billion Yen (-55.5%)
- Fiscal year may be affected by the Bungie acquisition, but Q4 won't.
- It depends on how Sony accounts for the acquisition.
- They might actually be paying more per PS5 built now in order to increase supply.
- This is likely how we saw such dramatic spike in supply
- Makes me curious if PS5 is now selling at a loss or break even after having sold at a profit for most of it's lifetime.
- Software sales might be down, those represent most of the operating profit generated.
- Inflation and currency exchange rates weren't kind to them over the past year.
- Digital Software and Add-On Content. +98.586 billion Yen (+6.9%) : +39.358 billion Yen (+11.0%)
- Network Services. +55.321 billion Yen (+13.5%) : +14.523 billion Yen (+13.9%)
- Hardware and Others. +710.270 billion Yen (+84.5%) : +334.928 billion Yen (+180.4%)

Has this been hinted?
I meant buying them separately but with discounts. PSVR2 will be sold at retail stores (rather than directly from Sony), and the redesign may leave the PS5 MSRP at $400 but leave a tiny bit of leeway for discounts.
Since learing PSVR2 is reportedly $250 BOM, there's a good margin there for retailers to want to stock. So bundles seem a good idea in the long run.

So, we're moving right into rolling generations from it looks like with a sort of old time Intel tick-tock cadence.
Tick - Hardware with new features (new "generation")
Tock - Faster hardware (mid "generation")
Tick - Hardware with new features (new "generation")
Tock - Faster hardware (mid "generation")
etc.
It would be interesting if MS chose to ignore the "Pro" type moniker and just do like Intel did and call each one a new generation.

If Series console sales don't improve (more specifically, Series X), I don't see how an additional and more expensive sku will improve their situation. Unless, they're depending on current Series X users to upgrade in the future.
We've to wait and drink tea
Don't see them (MS) with another console, probably without XSS

So redgaming are saying pro and series XL are not happening. Tom Henderson saying it is happening.

It's almost like you could make this stuff up and have a 50/50 chance of being right

RedgamingTech is not trustworthy. He is saying everything and its contrary and later claims "See, I was right".

It always a shame when smaller much more experimental studios lose their jobs. May all the people land on their feet

Rdna 3 and 3.5 are a flop we might see rdna 4 based devices and in that time frame they may both have access to new zen chips with xillian ip in them. Will make for much better experiances on both sides. Of course we might not see another xbox console
Yep. The con is plain as day. Two idiots corroborate each other's claims of something existing, but end up having differing opinions conveniently covering both cases where it either comes to fruition or not. Whatever ends up happening, they can look to the other person and say "you were right... things must have changed from when I heard about it".. which then adds to the illusion that they have actual sources and are in the know about this information since they both still "heard about it."
For a mid gen console simply having a larger gpu on the new node is probably enough. That's mostly what PS4 Pro was.
