$400 PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro, confirmed by… Microsoft?

Another "relatively official" leak revealing the arrival -before the end of the year and the estimated price -of a Slim version of the PlayStation 5.

As you certainly know, Microsoft has been trying for some time to buy the giant publisher/developer Activision/Blizzard, a transaction that will only be made with the approval of the national anti-monopoly commissions of countries around the world.

PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro approaching, from the end of 2023 for the first…

Obtaining this approval means an unpacking of internal documents made public for examination, and therefore juicy details which happily leak, as we have already reported a few times. Even Sony's secrets are revealed in the public square, the company being directly concerned by this merger because it wishes its failure for unfair competition. Thus, as part of the review of the project by the FTC (US Federal Trade Commission), we learn that a PS5 Slim will arrive by the end of the year at a price of 399.99 dollars. We even learn that Sony plans to market a PS5 Pro later.

Microsoft reveals Sony's secrets for the PS5

If Microsoft reveals these secrets, it is because the company criticizes the FTC for only considering the high-end models of the two manufacturers, when there are currently two Xboxes and two PS5s at different prices, and that the ranges will therefore be even more differentiated when Sony launches its other consoles, as yet unannounced.
