PS5 Pro Might Not Release in 2024, Tom Henderson Appears to Have Suggested

wccftech.com:

Sony's rumored upgraded PlayStation 5 model, the PS5 Pro, might very well not release later this year.

At least, that's what reputable leakier Tom Henderson appears to have been suggesting on X some hours ago. When asked about a possible September announcement for the long-rumored Pro model, Henderson replied - "If it releases this year!". While this doesn't directly confirm that the PS5 Pro model won't be launching this year (heck, Sony hasn't even commented on the model's existence), this reply is somewhat interesting as Henderson has long been saying that Sony is planning a holiday 2024 release for the Pro model.

Back in March of 2023, Henderson said that Sony was working on a PS5 hardware revision with a release sometime in late 2024. Several months later, in July 2023, Henderson talked about the codename for the PS5 Pro model - Trinity - with a planned release date in November 2024. "Whether or not a PlayStation 5 Pro console is desired enough in the current market remains to be seen, but as of writing, the PlayStation 5 Pro is in development and is targeting a November 2024 release date", Henderson wrote back then (via Keytogaming).

Some months ago, Henderson again talked about the Pro model, saying the then leaked specs of the console were the real deal. In addition, he said that Sony still appeared to be targeting a Holiday 2024 launch for the beefed-up PS5 console. Whether internal plans at Sony have changed or not remains to be seen at this point.
