Microsoft expects Sony to release the PS5 Slim console this year
By ForGeeks Documents published as part of Microsoft’s litigation with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission have appeared online. They indicate that the company expects Sony to release the PS5 Slim console later this year. It will cost the same as the PS5 Digital Edition. That is, $100 cheaper than the standard PS5.
PlayStation is also selling a less expensive version of the Digital Edition for $399.99, and it is expected to release the PlayStation 5 Slim later this year for the same price, Microsoft said.

Despite achieving record sales, the console has not sold well in some countries, including the UK, Spain, Portugal and France. This has led to speculation that Sony may sell out of old stock before introducing a new model.
