because that is the cycle that fits the pattern of their powerpoint (every 3-4 years [pandemic buffer] a new revision/generation])

It also says 8k output, which assuming they mean "for games" is crazy.
This seems like spitballing/wishlisting more than any solid confirmation.

I feel like if they want it to happen, it will happen. I don't expect supply constraints to just extend the length of this console generation by five years.
It is absolutely not for games, not any time this generation and almost certainly not the next.
That's how I read it. To sell their ideas of their future approach.
Who knows once more games start to come out and we see what they look like. As it stands, I could see folks wanting actual ray-tracing for the ooh shiny effect since the general sentiment has been that this generation wasn't the leap people expect from new gens.
I know I want that raytracing/more power for the PSVR2. However, I'm also content with what we have and wouldn't be upset if the revisions didn't come then.
Unless they replace the current machines altogether. Which I also think is unlikely.
Yeah I don't see what TCL has to do directly with these companies. Also def need some context on the presentation
Without the shortage, I could see it. It would be the same as PS4 → PS4 Pro (3 years) and Xbox One → Xbox One X (4 years). With shortage, bump it to 2024/2025.
A PS5 Pro and a corresponding Xbox Series became an inevitability with Nvidia's RTX 3000 reveal. With that said, the ongoing chip shortage makes the timing kinda suspect. I'm expecting said mid-gen consoles to launch in the 2024/2025 financial year.
This is silly, they don't know anything we don't know.
1. PS4 Pro and XBox One X were made because of 4K displays becoming common and an opportunity due to advances in technology allowing them to make such a console at a profit.
2. They can't even make enough consoles CURRENTLY to sell as many as consumers demand, why would they make new revisions so soon? It makes no sense.
3. We barely have had ANY current-get exclusives that were built ground-up to take advantage of current gen consoles, why would they make new consoles when we have not even started realizing the potential of current-get consoles?
All three of these points are differences between last time and this time, therefore these consoles will not be coming anytime soon if ever. 8k displays are not common and there is little appreciable difference that will be communicable to consumers between a PS5 and PS5 Pro.

The biggest takeaway from this is display manufacturers are preparing to push 8K displays more mainstream for 2023/2024.
Lol, we've barely got games taking advantage of the current model specs, zero need for an update until the user bases grow substantially. People will be pissed if updated systems come this soon before any potential for the current models is even fulfilled (I know I will be as an early adopter of two Ps5 systems).

I don't see any reason why TCL would have such information from both manufacturers.
This year we still have cross-gen games and next year will have more powerful console revisions?
TSMC is offering a smaller node, which Zen 4 and RDNA 3 will be using later this year. AMD will likely shrink the PS5's zen 2 and RDNA 2 cores down, to the smaller die process. Lower production cost, lowering power requirements, lowering thermals. Improving yields (smaller die means more chips are produced from roughly the same materials). Should allow a PS5 slim for 2023.
