The PlayStation 30th anniversary logo used in the blog post announcing the 30th anniversary content has been spotted including a silhouette of what appears to be a PS5 Pro game console. Below is the PlayStation 30th anniversary logo.



The background is gray and includes silhouettes of various products that have been released under the PlayStation brand, but there is a mysterious silhouette (red frame on the left) that looks very similar to the silhouette of

the new PS5 (red frame on the right).



This is very similar to the ' leaked information about the exterior design of the PS5 Pro ' reported at the end of August 2024, so it has sparked speculation that it may be the silhouette of the PS5 Pro.



In addition, gaming industry analysts have pointed out that the PS5 Pro may be priced at around $650.

Game industry analyst Serkan Toto told IGN that the PS5 Pro will likely retail for around $600 or $650. He also predicts that the current PS5 will not be reduced in price even when the PS5 Pro is released. In the PS4 generation, the price of the PS4 was reduced when the PS4 Pro was released, but Daniel Ahmad of research firm Niko Partners also predicted that the price of the PS5 will not be reduced because production and shipping costs have not fallen like in the previous generation.

The PS5 Pro is also expected to be released in time for Grand Theft Auto VI, scheduled for release in 2025. This is because sales of the PS5 Pro are expected to increase. Toto predicted that the PS5 Pro will not contribute significantly to the overall sales of the PS5. The PS4 Pro accounted for about 10-15% of the total sales of the PS4, so the same trend is expected for the PS5 Pro.

Considering that the standard PS5 model sells for $499.99 in the US and ¥79,980 in Japan, if the PS5 Pro sells for $650 in the US, the price in Japan could be around ¥104,000 including tax.
