No upgrade I know there’s already been whispers of a PS5 Pro and mid-gen Xbox Series X, but now those whispers are getting louder and even without leaks or rumours I’d assume that Sony and Microsoft couldn’t stop themselves from making them. The originals made money, but they were released due to very specific circumstances where the Xbox One was severely underpowered and Sony didn’t want to get caught behind when Microsoft upgraded.

But that’s not the situation now. Both consoles are about the same power, they’re both still not easy to come by, and we’re heading for the worst financial crisis in living memory. Only a madman would think that’s a good point to release new, more expensive versions of the consoles, and yet who would bet against it happening at some point in the next two years?

The worst thing is it’s a slap in the face to those that have already bought those consoles. Now there’ll be stuck with second best and had to endure the last few years with hardly any games coming out (especially the Xbox Series X, I guess, but I have a PlayStation 5). Covid wasn’t anyone’s fault but both companies should realise that it’s made mid-gen updates unfeasible. I still expect them to go ahead anyway but I know I won’t be getting one.Cuit
