This rumor seems very sus, and there's not much backing it up, either. The YouTuber seems to be very hit-or-miss. There is a PS5 Pro in the works but this doesn't seem to be it.

Sony said PS5 was dying at earnings and no one believed them. They said no major games until April 2025 and no one believed them. Now they have laid off 900 people and cancelled a Twisted Metal reboot. Believe them. PS5 is dying.

Good review, should've been a 10. Atlus already explained why FES and Portable content is not included. "So first I'd like to mention that since the basic concept of the Persona 3 remake was to remake the Persona 3, we don't have the FES and Portable contents included," Niitsuma said. "We wanted to really genuinely work on recreating the Persona 3 experience."
@B0udoir At this point Persona is more famous and well-known than Shin Megami Tensei. And there is precedent because they dropped the Shin Megami Tensei for Persona 4 Golden.

You can do amazing things with Unreal these days. 20 years is a ridiculous number. It's bad enough that Final Fantasy VII is being split into 3 games and developed over a decade. A game as big as Persona 3 was remade in Unreal in 4 years.

Video got taken down
@Grimwood well the original game is said to take 82 hours and Persona 3 Portable is 65 hours so 50 minutes isn't spoiling much. Persona games are heavy on story and introduction in the first few hours.

@Shad361 I dunno man, the Xbox came out with a Pentium III processor a year after Pentium 4 launched with a completely different architecture for the first time in 5 years. PS5/Xbox Series X launched with Zen 2, the newest architecture AMD had even at launch time.

@Shad361 Are you...talking about the original Xbox from 2001?

@OrtadragoonX Not just semiconductor pricing, but I would argue that semiconductor sizing is the limiting factor. Back with the PS4, it was at 28nm and PS4 Pro/Slim shrunk down to 16nm. Today the PS5 is at 7nm, which is still cutting-edge today when Intel's latest line uses 7nm. AMD does have 5nm chips in production now, but 3nm is the next big leap and it'll be a while until that is ready for desktop-grade chips (Apple is supposed to launch 3nm later this year). With the die shrinks no longer dependable like they used to be, it's not technically feasible to boost CPU performance in the same form factor as before.

I think it's more likely that a "PS5 Slim" is released than a PS5 Pro. The supply shortages which went on seemingly forever caused games to be released on both PS4 and PS5 to justify their large development costs. So there hasn't been much focus on PS5 exclusives. There never was a PS3 Pro or an Xbox 360 X. The main reason PS4 Pro and Xbox One X came out was to have 4K support at a time where the base consoles didn't have the power to do so. Nintendo has shown that you can resist market pressures to create a more powerful bridge console.
